Season 5, Episode 9 (Show 217): Across the Aisle – Special Guest Steven G. Calabresi
February 26, 2025
We welcome Professor Steven Calabresi, who at a time of uncertainty tells us of another day through a new biography; takes issue with our current president on an important issue; and presents arguments on yet another question which put him on the other side from Professor Amar.

We are joined by Professor Steven Calabresi, the co-founder and co-president of the Federalist Society, for three big topics. First, he offers insights for this fraught moment in our history with a new book on a key figure from an earlier era. Second, he offers analysis which places him on the other side from our current president on an important constitutional issue of the day. And third, he and Professor Amar explore aspects of unitary executive theory, where they find themselves diverging on key cases that have profound implications for many of the more controversial actions of the new administration. All in all, it adds up to something you don’t see that often these days: a prominent conservative and a scholar often on the side of the Democrats having civil discussion and finding common ground as well as principled disagreement. Professor Calabresi speaks for himself in this podcast, and not on behalf of the Federalist Society.
