Season 4, Episode 10 (Show 167): Happy Anniversary Mr. Lincoln from the Court

March 6, 2024

The opinion is in on Trump v. Anderson.  We explain why Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Amar are having a bad day.

CLE Credit Available for this episode from podcast.njsba.com.

The Court has ruled in Trump v. Anderson, and a strange day it was.  An announcement on a Sunday; no justices present; metadata strangeness, and worst of all, a unanimous opinion that is unanimously wrong.  Concurrences that are dissents.  A nearly 250 year old electoral college system that somehow escaped the Justices.  Notorious cases cited with approval.  The opinion is a veritable patchwork of error.  The autopsy begins.
