Season 3, Episode 13 (Show 117): It’s Coming

March 22, 2023

We await possible indictments of an ex-President, and rather than deprive our audience in the meantime, we take on a big question and inform you on a big opportunity.

The Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, delivered a controversial speech at an interfaith breakfast, raising issues of church/state separation, gun control, and the role of religion in governance.  Akhil uses the opportunity for some comparative constitutional analysis, and we look at the worldwide continuum of separationist approaches.  The mayor is quite provocative on school prayer and quite confusing on guns, and we take that up as well.  Meanwhile, we take a question on the judiciary in a far away and yet not so far away land.
