Amarica's Constitution - Section Three Punditry: The Good, The Bad, and The Silly

The nation awaits the Supreme Court’s seemingly inevitable review of the Section Three case from Colorado, and perhaps Maine as well.  Media around the world is weighing in with editorials and op-Ed’s; a smorgasbord of legal, political, and predictive arguments from professors, editors, elected officials, and others with their own range of expertise.  We continue our attempt to help you make sense of these by choosing pieces that make the range of arguments out there.  We do our best to present their argument and respond to it, bringing Professor Amar’s considerable armamentarium to bear for your benefit.  And this week, Akhil has at least two - maybe three - major new ideas he brings to the national discussion.  They can be found here first.  CLE credit is available from podcast.njsba.com.

Recent attacks by Houthi rebels, backed by Iran, have destabilized the region and prompted the U.S. to organize a multinational naval force to protect commercial ships. Today on the show, what's going on with shipping in the Red Sea.

Consider This from NPR - Could January 6th Decide the Next Election?

Former President and likely Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has been kicked off primary ballots in Maine and Colorado. His name on the ballot is being challenged in several other states across the country. All the challenges are based on the insurrection clause in the 14th amendment and stem from Trump's involvement in the January 6th attack on the US Capitol.

Trump is appealing the Maine decision, and is expected to appeal the Colorado decision.

Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a democrat, told All Things Considered that Trump's actions on January 6th are what drove her decision to remove him from the ballot.

NPR's Juana Summers, talks to Senior Editor and Correspondent Domenico Montanaro about the decisions to remove Trump, whether they'll stand, and what these challenges could mean for the outcome of the Presidential election.
