More Statesmanship, and State Constitutions - Special Guests Steven B. Smith and Vikram D. Amar

More Statesmanship, and State Constitutions - Special Guests Steven B. Smith and Vikram D. Amar

The big issue in the news today is the Missouri legislature’s attempt to avoid the state constitution’s referendum provisions in order to impose a legislative map that would advantage Republicans to the tune of all but one of the state’s seats in the US House. The Supreme Court is asked to intervene, and Justice Kavanaugh - after we taped - declined to do so. This may not be end of the story, but our guest Vik Amar is on top of it together with Akhil. Listen to get the details, and check out Scotusblog.com to stay updated - Akhil and Vik have a new column there. Meanwhile, our interview with Professor Steven Smith discussing his new book, On Statesmanship, precedes this discussion this week - don’t miss that, either! CLE credit is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.
