At its best, this podcast offers thoughtful and authoritative perspectives on the Constitution from a self-identified “originalist” liberal Yale law professor and his non-lawyer sidekick who moves the show along. Consistently four stars with occasional five-star moments. Listeners who lack Yale DNA may find the constant references to Yale tedious. A larger irritation for this listener is the podcast’s promotion of Prof. Amar’s books, and we are currently in one of those unfortunate promotional p... more
I cannot listen to legal scholars argue and debate the nuances of legal holding sentences and old white founders from 250 years ago anymore. They expected voters to choose leaders of virtue, yet provided no legal break stops for monarchy loving despots. Men craven for power & personal enrichment grasping for the Unitary Executive to decapitate democracy are given actual substance by “great legal minds” ignoring troops marching in our capital & immigrants thrown on the ground, chased to be killed... more
Akhil could get control of his monstrous ego, this would be great show.
It seems quaint to be talking about the constitution when we have a president who has declared himself a king, or dictator, enabled by a Supreme Court stacked with his political hacks. And how does Calabresi feel about how he and his pal Leonard Leo have so disgracefully undermined our democracy with their right wing federalist society judicial plants?But hey, it’s nice that you can be so civil and polite with each other while millions here and abroad suffer. You can pat yourselves on the back a... more
Can Professor Amar read the Executive Orders please. Some of them are really about shredding the Constitution as has been practiced and interpreted by the Supreme Court.
These folks are talking about ignoring the Judicial Branch.
