  • VERY important podcast, but…

    Where were you while you recorded this episode John?!(the latest, listened to on Nov. 20) It sounded like you were in a tin can with a head cold, with the volume turned down low. This old lady had a hard time hearing you. I do love the show, though… I learn SO much. Best to you both!

  • TO THE LETTER

    Day walker here. This podcast is an absolute gift! These two were meant for this, and it’s so awesome to get a whole pod of one of the best weekly segments of John’s show. Professor Brettschneider has an uncanny ability to message complex ideas and laws for the Everyman. Then throw in the sharp Fugelsang wit, and you have a masterpiece. More than worth a listen, and thanks to you both for creating this pod.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Case That Could Finally Stop Trump | Dahlia Lithwick
Q: Should the Supreme Court see itself as the guardian of judicial independence?
The job of the court is to enforce the law, especially against a president who would threaten to destroy it.
The Case That Could Finally Stop Trump | Dahlia Lithwick
Q: How does this fit into your understanding that free speech is not about citizenship but about personhood?
