The big opinions are starting to drop, and we're doing our best to keep pace. We first discuss Landor v. Louisiana Department of Corrections, which concerns religious liberty, the scope of Congress's power to create remedies against individuals under... more
We open with the usual grab bag—the "foot fault" pun buried in a Justice Thomas opinion, reading Justice Alito's clerk-hiring tea leaves, and a detour into the metaphysics of conditional resignations and whether you can be confirmed to a vacancy tha... more
After puzzling over an interesting follow-up question about Pitchford v. Cain, we unpack a summary vacatur in Whitton v. Dixon. We then spend a while breaking down the latest developments in Allen v. Milligan line, in which we discuss the future of t... more
The Court has been busy, and we somehow manage to cover a number of developments with unpredictable efficiency. We talk about the Court's latest summary reversal on the "party presentation principle"; Justice Kavanaugh's vindication of his law journ... more

As a fellow jurist I can appreciate a well informed examination of American jurisprudence.
There are quite a few popular podcasts focused on the Supreme Court these days. Divided Argument is in a class of its own. If you’re looking for partisan takes that confirm your priors, look elsewhere. Baude and Epps are serious legal scholars who would find hackery embarrassing. If Learned Hand was right that the spirit of liberty is the spirit which is not too sure that it is right, Divided Argument exudes the spirit of liberty. Baude comes from the right-of-center originalist world, Epps from... more
Funny, informative and really smart. Just the right amount of conflict, too. I’m hoping for decades of running commentary on the Court from this duo.
A couple bros who take the law thing seriously, yapping. Scratches the conlaw cartalk itch. Not for people who want super-political takes or can’t fathom law existing conceptually beyond tribalist politics. Repeat themselves often, go on some bizarre tangents, but always at least intellectually stimulating or entertaining. Often both. Caveat, I’m occasionally lost by some commentary if I didn’t read the case.
Not always for non-lawyers, but for lawyers it’s probably the best legal podcast—at least for appellate/SCOTUS cases. Both hosts are brilliant, challenge each other’s ideas, and bring top-notch analysis to complex legal issues. Also pretty funny.

This unscheduled, unpredictable Supreme Court podcast features two law professors who dissect high-profile decisions and the broader doctrinal shifts they signal. Across episodes, deep dives into voting rights, shadow docket dynamics, procedural nuance, and the Court's approach to federalism and executive power are balanced with witty banter and lively debate. Notable for its long-form, argumentative style and willingness to reframe conventional narratives, it often pairs rigorous legal analysis with accessible commentary, guest experts, and occasional live audience energy. A strong selling point is the chemistry and clear, candid exchanges between the hosts, making complex constitutional questions approachable for legally literate listener... more
