Congress was unable to deal with the challenges of running the new American government under the Articles of Confederation. In 1787, the Constitutional Convention was held and delegates created the Constitution the United States has been living under for over 200 years.

On Tuesday, October 3, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Community Financial Services Association of America. Industry groups representing payday lenders brought a challenge arguing that the CFPB funding structure is unconstitutional under the Appropriations Clause. The outcome of the case could have big effects not just on the future of the CFPB itself, but on the economy, markets, and the future of the administrative state. In this episode, two leading constitutional law scholars and Supreme Court experts—Brianne Gorod of the Constitutional Accountability Center, and Professor Jennifer Mascot of the Antonin Scalia Law School— join Center President and CEO Jeffrey Rosen to recap the oral arguments in the CFPB case, what questions or issues the justices were the most focused on, and predict how the Court might rule.     Resources:  CFPB v. CFSAA (oral argument transcript)  Brianne Gorod/Constitutional Accountability Center, Amicus Brief in support of petitioners  Jennifer Mascott/Separation of Power Clinic, Gray Center for the Study of the Administrative State, Amicus Brief of 132 members of Congress in support of respondents  Seila Law v.

You can find the latest episode here. He talks Supreme Court expansion, Clarence Thomas' “Ethics,” and how this new breed of Conservative Justices just make up facts and the law to reach their desired ideological conclusion. His first book is the New York Times bestseller Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution. A book Bill loved. Today Bill highlights the work of the Constitutional Accountability Center which seeks to make the public, judges and politicians understand the Constitution, in its most vital respects, to be a progressive document.

The North Carolina Supreme Court rejected a partisan gerrymandered congressional map drawn to heavily favor Republicans last year. The map violated the state's constitution. The North Carolina legislature is now arguing before the U.S. Supreme Court whether the state legislature has the authority to override the court and ignore its own constitution. The case, Moore v. Harper, raises the prospect of the independent state legislature theory — a fringe theory that, if the Supreme Court rules in favor of, would give state legislatures unfettered authority, remove checks and balances, and undermine future elections. In the second episode of Dissent, host Jordan Smith and Elizabeth Wydra of the Constitutional Accountability Center closely examine oral arguments and unpack how a favorable or even a middle-ground ruling would radically change elections.If you'd like to support our work, go to theintercept.com/join — your donation, no matter what the amount, makes a real difference.
