I woke up to the news of DOJ raiding Jon Bolton’s house and as I skimmed through the article, saw the rich quote from man with perpetual deer in headlights face Kash Patel say “NO ONE is above the law.” Pssshhhh it’s all so farcical.

But anyway any current U.S. law students or professors out there? What is being taught currently given the obvious flouting of the laws by our highest arms of government? What’s con law like? Yeesh! Genuinely curious. Now excuse me while I melt away down our slide into fascism. Sigh.

    I’ve “enjoyed” the podcast What Trump can teach us about Con Law with constitutional law professor Elizabeth Joh. It’s really not fun, but it IS interesting.

    Throughout his first term and starting again this term, they’ve been talking about the historical basis for presidential powers and stuff, and how we never actually had any rules - only guidelines and gentleman’s agreements.

      If interesting, will have to check it out. Aka it’s Roman Mars huh? I’ve enjoyed my fair share of 99pi although it’s been a while.

        Agreed. For that matter, I don’t know that he adds a ton to the show (besides creating, hosting, and producing it!)
