Amarica's Constitution - Ending Catch-22

10 years after Professor Amar wrote, with Gary Hart, on how the Senate can put an end to the filibuster, it remains (mostly) in place.  Akhil and Andy take you through the long history of this notorious practice, from the pre-Constitutional theories and practices, through the many misdeeds of the post-Civil War and 20th century periods, to today where the filibuster looms large but also is threatened with extinction.  Professor John Fabian Witt joins the conversation with unique insights into the origins of the “modern” filibuster, how it was employed to thwart anti-lynching as well as major civil rights legislation. What is now rule 22 (“catch-22”) is not so entrenched, not so consistent with the Senate’s mission, as many have thought.  Thanks again to EverScholar (everscholar.org) for sponsoring “Amarica’s Constitution.”

Consider This from NPR - The J & J Pause, Explained — And What It Means For The U.S. Vaccination Effort

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration announced a recommended pause in use of Johnson & Johnson's single-use COVID-19 vaccine, while the agencies investigate reports of a rare but serious blood clot in six people.

The pause comes at a time when public health officials face the growing challenge of vaccine hesitancy, as NPR's Geoff Brumfiel reports.

NPR's Tamara Keith and Pien Huang explain the science behind the pause, and how it's occurring at a challenging moment for the Biden administration.

Additional reporting in this episode comes from NPR's Allison Aubrey.

The NPR Politics Podcast is also covering the Johnson & Johnson vaccine pause. Listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

CoinDesk Podcast Network - BREAKDOWN: The Real Story of Inflation Right Now

New CPI numbers show growing inflation, but is that the whole story? 

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io.

There is perhaps no question more debated in macroeconomics than what sort of inflation we’re likely to see in the coming years. Many are convinced that the combination of a growing money supply, expansionary monetary policy, pent-up demand, reshoring of manufacturing and more are pointing us to a secular inflation era. Others say the forces of deflation and disinflation, like technology and demography, are too strong. 

In today’s episode, NLW looks at not only the latest Consumer Price Index numbers released today, but also recent Producer Price Index surveys, wage growth and more to try to put together a more complex, nuanced picture of the likely inflation scenarios going forward.
