Would you please discuss the legality of the Trump administration bulldozing down the east wing of the White House.
I saw Jackie Kennedy‘s meticulous notes at the MET museum exhibition held years ago.
She worked with dozens of historic restoration experts and commissions.
Jackie restored the White House she didn’t bulldoze it down.
While loss of our democracy is my number one issue bulldozing the east wing down makes me see red
Snarky, down to earth, educational, and just fun to listen to. Andrew and Mary explain the legal side of the issues and are very good at expressing the outrage and disbelief that this administration is so openly corrupt and incompetent.
My main criticism is that Andrew seems to think his audience knows less than they may actually know. For example, for rather simplistic or well-known details he’ll almost apologize for getting into the “weeds,” etc. Makes me think his listenership might be a bit more mainstream than my needs (i.e., it might be best for me to stick to podcasts where the assumption leans more toward I know what the host is talking about). An unfortunate tell is Weissmann’s repeated use of the phrase “People need t... more

A fast-moving, analytic show where two veteran DOJ alumni dissect current legal and political events through a constitutional lens. Episodes consistently break down high-profile cases, election law questions, executive power, and civil rights concerns with accessible explanations, real-time context, and sharp commentary. Notable strengths include clear legal grounding, humor, and a willingness to challenge official narratives, making complex topics approachable for professionals, policymakers, and engaged citizens alike. A potential differentiator is the duo's inside-the-beltway perspective, offering practical takeaways for listeners who want to understand how legal developments translate into real-world implications.
