  • Great, I could follow 95%

    I will definitely listen to this show again. I’ve spent today trying to better understand what’s going on with redistricting and gerrymandering and the redrawing democracy episode helped tremendously. I was unable to follow the entire discussion around the Louisiana case in the Supreme Court because I didn’t understand the definitions of the types of districts like majority-minority and when/how mapping entities might create them. Will look those up, read about the case, and listen to the last 1... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stanford’s Alan Sykes on the Future of Trump’s Tariffs After the IEEPA Case
Q: What happens to the money paid in by importers during the tariff period?
The court did not definitively decide the fate of the collected duties; remedies discussed include potential reliquidation, refunds for overpayments, or court orders to reevaluate liquidated entries, with protective suits and variations in timing affecting outcomes.
Stanford’s Alan Sykes on the Future of Trump’s Tariffs After the IEEPA Case
Q: Tell us a little bit about these tariffs and what the challenge was under IEEPA.
The challenge argued that IEEPA allowed the president to regulate importation but not to impose tariffs as a form of taxation; the Supreme Court majority found that tariffs are not authorized under IEEPA due to the lack of explicit language or a clear delegation, and because the major questions doctrine requires a more explicit grant of power for such a sweeping action.
How Democracies Collapse from Within
Q: What lessons can we learn to restore democracy through law?
Leveraging federalism and state constitutional law could provide a pathway to counteract the dismantling efforts at the national level.
How Democracies Collapse from Within
Q: Did you think if I'd asked you that in 2015, you would have said, we're in danger of our checks disappearing?
I've been nervous for quite some time as the institutional loyalties began to fracture along party lines.
How Democracies Collapse from Within
Q: When you started studying Hungary, did you think it was going to have a lot of bearing on the United States?
Initially, I was fascinated with Hungary's potential for democracy, not the decline. I didn't anticipate it would relate to the US.
