Amarica's Constitution - Moore on the Brief – Special Guest Vikram David Amar

The Amars’ amicus brief in Moore vs. United States is the talk of the legal ecosphere.  Akhil’s co-author, Professor Vik Amar, joins us for analysis of the precedents that followed Hylton - faithful and otherwise.  This tour de force of legal analysis is perfectly suited for your CLE credit.  We also look at recent comments from the Supreme Court on Moore’s issues, and survey the reactions to the brief’s release.  Various arguments that purport to address some of the brief’s claims have emerged:  in support, in conflict, and complementary; we analyze and respond to them.

The Gist - De-Polarized By An Existential Threat

Gigi Levy-Weiss is a former Apache helicopter pilot in the Israeli Air Force, a tech entrepreneur, and a member of Brothers In Arms, reservists who refused to support Netanyahu's government as it tried to reshape the country’s highest court. Mike sat down with Levy-Weiss to discuss his role in a new organization called Brothers and Sisters of Israel, which is tasked with supporting soldiers, civilians, and, in a twist, the government he protested just months earlier. Also on the show, when a nation looks past its ideologies to band together despite its leader.
