After following up on Justice Alito's summer interview, the new birthright-citizenship executive orders, and the Court's record-low approval numbers, we devote the episode to Cisco Systems v. Doe, the Falun Gong surveillance case that closes the door... more
We squeeze in one more episode before Will's vacation, tying the single-season record in the process. The mailbag then demands a reckoning on whether Magneto's powers are really limited to ferrous metals, along with the origins of the S tier and the ... more
We're back — maybe getting a little too scheduled — with one opinion on the docket: West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox, where the Court held that states may limit girls' and women's sports teams to biological sex without violation Equal Prot... more
We're back from vacation and chipping away at the summer backlog. Before the substance: listeners weigh in on our AI-generated cover art, Claude's new prediction scorecard grades our respective forecasting records, and Justices Kagan and Barrett take... more

Thoughtful, good faith, deep analysis of SCOTUS opinions by two commenters with different ideological preferences but a shared willingness to debate them civilly. And they have a sense of humor, too.
My only criticism is the lack of assurances over their independence following affiliation with SCOTUSblog and its acquisition by Dispatch. Dispatch is a conservative (or moderate-conservative) outlet. At least one of its founders (Goldberg) has, at times, veered into pure partisan hackery. To deliv... more
Consistently the best Supreme Court podcast out there. None of the justices are demonized by the hosts. They give excellent case analysis and background information. They give careful intellectual scrutiny to decisions rather than demonize any of the justices. Your favorite lawyer’s favorite podcast. PS- if you could do a guest episode with Orin Kerr for his new article on Chatrie that would be awesome 👍
Well Dan, I don’t have a lot of expectations and artwork for every episode isn’t one. However, I do expect a greater degree of ethical behavior from a couple of law professors than using The Machine Designed to Break Copyright.
As a civil litigator practicing primarily in federal court, I find Divided Argument consistently enlightening. Dan Epps and Will Baude dig into legal issues with real depth and nuance, and their banter makes even dense topics genuinely fun to follow. The production quality is excellent too, crisp, clear audio throughout. It’s become one of my favorite podcasts to listen to while mowing the lawn or walking my English springer spaniel. Highly recommend for anyone who wants smart, substantive legal... more
I very much respect your perspectives and I generally enjoy the episodes, but perhaps there is a blind spot you are not seeing. Both of you consistently, in episode after episode, dismiss Justice KBJ’s opinions. You both seem to almost revel in it. I am sure you will deny it but in a moment of honest self reflection, you might want to look
into that. It is my only sore point about the entire podcast.

Two scholars-turned-hosts unpack Supreme Court decisions with rigorous, doctrine-first analysis and thoughtful banter. Episodes blend close readings of opinions, historical context, and practical implications, often exploring how rules and theories play out in current cases. The format emphasizes civil, back-and-forth debate between two well-credentialed hosts, with occasional guests or references to broader legal discourse, and sponsorship mentions at the end. Its distinctive angle is a balanced, non-dogmatic approach to complex constitutional issues, making arcane topics accessible to educated listeners who want depth without being partisan hype. This makes it a strong pick for listeners who value careful legal reasoning and a transparent... more
