A professor, not a practicing lawyer, and it shows. Right result, wrong clause and a myopic view of the text that somehow only speaks to him. He’s got a novel approach and is for entertainment, not good legal theory. An Originalist shill at heart.
Amar is a conservative apologist and, above all things, a ring kisser.
He marches with the fascists but cries when they burn down the institutions.
And he keeps bringing on that hack Sarah Isgur. Miss Isgur doesn’t digest legal opinions and she lac... more
The fucking world is falling apart. And you two act like we can have a polite conversation with Trump supporters. You are so much a part of the problem.
This show has incisive commentary and their coverage of certain constitutional issues is fabulous (though I’m not a lawyer).

Which is absurd, and which makes points of constitutional argument and nuance sim... more
This is proper scholarship delivered in a manner accessible to a layman. I am a Brit who recognises the importance of these issues to the world at large. We need scholars like Akhil to provide authoritative guidance to SCOTUS and “the people” in these tumultuous times.
I’ve been transformed, both as a lawyer and as a citizen, by Amar’s lectures, books and now this podcast. Shout out to Andy, the best co-host.
