Episode 18: Tinker to Amar to Strossen – Special Guest Nadine Strossen

May 12, 2021

Professor Nadine Strossen, the 17-year (and first woman) director of the ACLU joins a free-wheeling discussion of free speech, in the Constitution and beyond.

In the wake of the publication of The Words That Made Us, Akhil comes full circle, as his first book was The Bill of Rights.  To complete that circle, Professor Nadine Strossen, the youngest person and first woman to lead the ACLU as its president (for 17 years!) joins Akhil and Andy for a discussion that ranges from the current Supreme Court case on cheerleaders’ (and all other students’) rights to the famous Tinker case; from Citizens United to The Godfather.  And just what is wrong with The Sopranos?
