Season 2, Episode 46 (Show 98): The Federalist Society, in Brief – Special Guest Steven G. Calabresi

November 9, 2022

The co-founder and national chair of the Federalist Society, as well as a key co-author of our recent brief, Steve Calabresi, joins Amarica’s Constitution for a free-wheeling conversation.

The recent brief in the ISL case, Moore v. Harper, was notable in part because it was co-authored not only by our own Professor Amar and his brother, Dean Vik Amar, both well-known Democrats, but also by one of America’s best-known conservatives, Professor Steven Calabresi.  Steve is a co-founder and national chair of the Federalist Society, and importantly, this is not the first time he has crossed the aisle in matters of national import.  He joins our podcast and engages with his close friend, Akhil Amar, on a conversation that spans decades and gives insight in the founding, development, and present of this iconic conservative organization.  Characters from Ed Meese to Guido Calabresi take the stage.  You may be surprised as you learn the inside story from a consummate insider and scholar.
