America hopes for an election, and as it approaches, it feels tenuous, as the President seeks to exert control over ballots and those who would vote. Circuit courts step up; will the Supreme Court? We think so. Meanwhile, voting of another kind – on juries – is at issue in a case that follows the Jarkesy opinion from 2024. Professor Steven Calabresi has submitted an amicus brief in the case, and he joins Akhil and Andy for a lively discussion of the facts, the law, and the implications of this case. While he is here, Steve also weighs in on the election matters, as well.
