Barely Averting a Constitutional Crisis

Advisory Opinions

About
Sarah Isgur and David French debate David’s latest New York Times column on the Missouri Supreme Court blocking a congressional map. Then, the two review two law articles: Andy Smarick of the Manhattan Institute’s elegantly simple piece on unenumerated rights, and University of Virginia law professor Caleb Nelson’s amazing yet horrifying publication on the unitary executive. 

The Agenda:

–Paying tribute to the victims and those who sacrificed their lives on 9/11

–The redistricting fight that favors Democrats in Missouri 

–Andy Smarick: “How Judicial ‘History and Tradition’ Went Wrong”

–Caleb Nelson’s article on the unitary executive

–Is a teacher’s pride flag personal effects?
