Confirming a Justice Before a Vacancy

Advisory Opinions

About
Sarah Isgur and David French discuss bypassing the Electoral College through the National Popular Vote Compact, review the Department of Justice’s criminal investigation into the Dobbs decision leak, and break down the fight between the Berkeley Homeless Union and the City of Berkeley trying to clear out homeless encampments. But first, Sarah defends her online take of how you can confirm a Supreme Court justice before a current justice retires. 

The Agenda:

–Don’t hitchhike, except when it’s really important

–Sarah’s most right-wing take ever

–Dr. Akhil Amar on the Electoral College

–What exactly was the crime in the Dobbs decision leak?

–Berkeley’s homeless encampments and Judge Patrick Bumatay’s dissent

–Stop worrying and learn to love forum shopping
