  • Unwelcome Decline

    I really enjoyed this podcast and the insight and banter of the show’s hosts. It used to be an instant listen.

I hoped the decline in the quality was attributable to the wait for a new term to start, but I’m starting to doubt that. Update: The nearly forty-f... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Counter-Counter-Counter-Designations
Q: What did you learn about deposition designations and counter counter designations?
There are interesting procedural layers in law that include terms like counter designations and counter counter designations, showing the complexities in how legal documents are filed and contested.
Proust or Plato
Q: Do you think affirmative action will still be necessary in 25 years?
The challenge is understanding how the timing of admissions policies ties to the Supreme Court's decisions, and future justices might not allow extensions of current practices without clear motivation.
Proust or Plato
Q: What do you think are the rules for how schools can grade them?
Admissions officers would need to credit a white applicant who states their difficulties have a racial dimension, ensuring fairness in evaluation.
Bedrock Con Law 101
Q: What do you think the world should look like if everyone were to accept your book?
First choice would actually be to maintain the tension, as the tension is fine with me. However, the model of implied powers is also a viable way of reducing limitations on congressional authority.
Bedrock Con Law 101
Q: What is the burden of proof you have set for yourself?
I'm persuaded in something like a clear and convincing way, which means I think what I write is right, but I'm always open to the possibility that I'm not right.
