Back to EpisodesEpisode 8 | Asymmetrical Lawfare
Description
Our hosts, law professor Ilan Wurman and Kathryn Johnson, are joined by conservative law students at the podcast’s first ever live taping, at ASU. The hosts tackle one of the most important and controversial legal issues of the day: the asymmetrical lawfare and “barfare” against Trump and Republicans. Does the left play by the rule of law? Do they like the rule of law for themselves, but not for others? Should conservatives start playing by their rules? In terms of legal doctrine, should they embrace an aggressive version of substantive of due process? Common good constitutionalism? Our hosts tackle the recent Korean Spa case out of the Ninth Circuit with the now famous “swinging d—-“ reference. Finally, they talk more about birthright citizenship and take questions from the audience.
