Earlier this month, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to block new congressional maps in North Carolina and Pennsylvania from going into effect. Both states' maps had been redrawn by state courts, overriding maps that had been enacted by the states' Republican legislatures. This means that the 2022 congressional elections in both states will proceed using the court-drawn maps. Despite the fact that the U.S. Supreme Court declined to intervene, four of the justices indicated they're ready to address the doctrine at the heart of the cases: the independent state legislature theory. To unpack all that's at stake—and explain what that theory is and what effect, if implemented, it could have on the power of state courts to review actions by state legislatures in regulating elections—Jeffrey Rosen moderates a conversation with two constitutional law experts: Vikram Amar, dean and Iwan Foundation Professor of Law at Illinois College of Law and co-author of Constitutional Law: Cases and Materials; and Evan Bernick, assistant professor at the Northern Illinois University College of Law and co-author of The Original Meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment: Its Letter and Spirit.   The National Constitution Center relies on support from listeners like you to provide nonpartisan constitutional education to Americans of all ages.

On this episode, I talk to Northern Illinois University College of Law professor Evan Bernick about the unprecedented charges against the parents of the 15-year-old who allegedly murdered 4 of his classmates in Michigan late last month. We discuss his recent piece in The Washington Post warning of the dangers of the case. Bernick is skeptical of the logic being employed by prosecutors to charge the parents with negligent manslaughter in an attempt to hold them responsible for their son's criminal acts. He argues the prosecution could set a troubling new precedent that will be used against vulnerable populations once this high-profile case fades from the headlines. He said expansions of how broadly serious criminal offenses are interpreted tend to lead to an increase in prosecutions of minorities. We discuss how that principle often applies to gun laws but is rarely given the same level of discussion. We also look at how the same question is being considered in the Supreme Court's gun-carry case. At the same time, we debate the culpability of the parents involved in the Michigan school shooting and what kind of consequences they should face. Prosecutors allege the pair were informed about their son's notes and drawings indicating he was about to carry out his attack on the very day it happened but did nothing to intervene. If the parents shouldn't be charged for the killings themselves despite allegedly providing access to the firearm and doing nothing to respond to the warning signs, what should be done instead? Are safe storage laws a good alternative as Bernick suggests? Plus, contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I cover the latest developments on permitless carry in Florida as well as Beto O'Rourke's faltering poll numbers in the Texas gubernatorial race.

In this episode, Dr. David Ley, clinical psychologist and sex therapist, discusses the myth of "sex addiction" and his 2015 article Forensic Applications of "Sex Addiction" in US Legal Proceedings, published in Current Sexual Health Reports. He begins by discussing the history of the concept of "sex addiction," which is neither a formal diagnosis described under the DSM-V and has no standardized definition otherwise. Dr. Ley then explains how sex addiction and associated treatments are used as tools for avoiding responsibility for unhealthy and offending behavior, rather than addressing other, true causes such as narcissism. He then draws connections not only between those offering treatment for sex addiction and "pornography addiction," but also anti-masturbation movements like "NoFap," with white supremacist groups. Dr. Ley then highlights resources for sex workers to get access to sex-positive and non-judgmental mental healthcare. He closes by exhorting listeners to have deeper, more meaningful conversations about sex rather than continuing to have the "sensational, knee-jerk...blame sex" reaction so common as a response to many deeply entrenched social ills.This episode was hosted by Maybell Romero, Associate Professor of Law at Northern Illinois University College of Law.

In this episode, Robert Anderson, Professor of Law at Pepperdine University Caruso School of Law, introduces ScholarSift, a new analytics platform for law reviews he created with co-founder Trent Wenzel. He discusses initially identifying the need for a platform like ScholarSift and distinguishes it from other search functions with which listeners may already be familiar, while relating the basic mechanics of use. He describes how ScholarSift's algorithm is different than those used by other services and how it can lead to greater citation counts for women, people of color, and other scholars from marginalized communities. He then predicts how ScholarSift could lead to curtailing the volume of submissions made to law reviews by legal scholars, lightening the burden on both authors and law reviews. He also explains how it could be a useful tool for law students even outside the law review context.

Prof. Sherman-Stokes begins by orienting the listener to different forms of “shadow deportation”; removal from the United States by a number of different extrajudicial methods. She then focuses on what she terms “third country deportations.” Even if a non-citizen is granted relief under the Convention Against Torture, relief under which is mandatory of a showing is made that a non-citizen will be subject to torture if returned to their country of origin, they may still be removed to a third country without notice. Virtually no guidance, either statutory or regulatory exists regarding how such third country deportations should proceed, and Prof. Sherman-Stokes provides an overview of the limited forms of relief a non-citizen may seen when facing such removal and argues that our domestic and international legal obligations require meeting certain minimal levels of due process as well as evidentiary hearings.Professor Sherman-Stokes’ scholarship is available on SSRN This episode was hosted by Maybell Romero, Assistant Professor of Law at Northern Illinois University College of Law.

Watergate remains an important marker in the development of modern law. Four panelists discuss the moral issues associated with Watergate. What exactly were the ethical dilemmas faced by the lawyers in this situation? Are the same rules still operating today? And, were these ethical lapses or hard criminal offenses? Issues like attorney-client privilege, fear of losing a client and lack of knowledge of criminal law are discussed to try to clarify why Watergate happened and if law today lives in an environment that allows for such scandals to develop. About the panelists: Jill Wine-Banks was the Watergate Special Prosecutor who cross-examined Rosemary Woods, the President's secretary, about the missing 18 and a half minutes of missing tape. Arnold Rochvarg is a law professor at University of Baltimore who served on Watergate defendant's Robert Mardian's team and secured a reversal of his conviction. James D. Robenalt, Thompson Hine LLP, is currently in a partnership with John W. Dean, Nixon's White House Counsel, to create a national continuing education program entitled "The Watergate CLE." Laurel Rigertas is an associate professor at Northern Illinois University College of Law whose research focuses on ethics, professionalism, and access to the legal system.
