Reflections on administrative law as we brace ourselves for October Term 2022. THANKS TO our guest, Professor Bill Edmundson; our co-hosts, Tate Smith and Allie Veltri; our new co-editor, Julian Broadway; and, Ted Cruz.
Oliver Flint returns to discuss the "G.I. Generation" (born 1901-24), and in particular its impact on American law in the early years of the Burger Court. We examine the unraveling of the New Deal Coalition through the lens of the Supreme Court's conservative retrenchment in the early 1970s. Special attention is paid to the Court's [in]famous 1972 Term.
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."
Panel discussion with Professors Natsu Saito, Lauren Sudeall, Nirej Sekhon, Gerry Weber, and Tanya Washington. Cosponsored with BLSA and the Georgia Lawyer Chapter of ACS.
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.
Emory's chapter cosponsored this talk with Ian Millhiser, a senior Vox correspondent whose excellent new book is called "THE AGENDA: How a Republican Supreme Court is Reshaping America." We discuss major cases, due process, equal protection, administrative law, voting rights, and more.

GSU's chapter of the Federalist Society has inspired us to take another look at the First Amendment. So we're kicking off the semester with a two-part episode on the rights of TST members to freely speak and worship. HAIL SATAN. Thank you.
Happy Thanksgiving. I interviewed my dad (Allen Garrett / Kilpatrick Townsend) about class actions, arbitration, and how federal courts have limited the potential for consumers, employees, and other proles to protect their rights in federal courts. We were only speaking for ourselves. ACS does not endorse or finance this podcast. Thank you.
Senator Jen Jordan, Prof. Eric Segall, Prof. Bryan Sells, and Mr. Tom Clyde drop by with some timely commentary on the Georgia General Assembly, the US Constitution, the right to vote, and the First Amendment (respectively). ### The American Constitution Society does not endorse or oppose any candidate or political party.
