    We are boosting this terrific event hosted by Georgetown's ACS chapter. Moderated by Eliane Bejjani. "A panel with Columbia Professor of Law Jamal Greene and legal commentator and writer of the forthcoming book, Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution, Elie Mystal, discussing issues with applying a methodology that came into being in the 1970s as a reaction to the court-confirmed expansion of civil rights to previously Legally unprotected populations, and that seeks to apply the original meaning of a constitution that was written by people that thought of Black Americans as property and of Native Americans as savages."

    An interview with GSU 3L superstar Oliver Flint. First, we link the concept of originalism with the Marxist theory of alienation. Then (8:31), we discuss some ironies with the Supreme Court's building. After that (11:32), we recall some lessons from a short-lived revolution in 19th-century Rhode Island. We then return to Marxism and its resonance with modern GOP gun rhetoric. At 21:49, we discuss political assassinations and their legacy today. At 25:40, we touch on the concept of "terror"/"terrorism" in the U.S. At 27:00, we talk about the Black Panthers. At 31:34, we discuss Castle Rock v. Gonzales. The second half is all about DC v. Heller (2008).

    No interviews, no panels, no nothing. This is mostly just the U.S. Supreme Court -- in its own words. PART ONE: We begin with the 2000 GOP primary debate in Iowa, where there was some heated debate about the constitutionality of campaign finance legislation. Then, at 4:07, President Obama's criticism of the 'Citizens United' ruling during an address to Congress. After that, at 5:10, you'll hear Chief Justice John Roberts explain that if we don't like what his court does, then that's "just too bad." Finally, after a short excerpt from a dramatic reenactment of 'Marbury v. Madison,' you'll hear an excerpt from the PBS documentary 'Supreme Revenge,' summarizing Mitch McConnell's impact on the modern Court (6:27). PART TWO: The remainder of the episode is a touched-up rendering of Justice David Souter's 2010 commencement address at Harvard University. At 12:59, he discusses the Pentagon Papers case. At 18:17, he discusses 'Brown v. Board' and the demise of Plessy's separate-but-equal paradigm.
