Amarica's Constitution - End of an ERA

The last days of the Biden administration have come and gone, and with them, some controversy in the form of a presidential statement on ERA ratification, and some more controversial pardons.  Then came the inauguration of President Trump, and an inaugural speech some found dark and atypical, if unsurprising. The many events that followed will be fodder for future podcasts, but here we look at Presidents attempting to insert themselves in various ways that seem outside the norm, including a role in constitutional amendments.  And the norm-buster Trump sounded several themes in the inaugural that we highlight.  The speech and what followed were an avalanche of controversy, and perhaps that’s the idea, but we make a start.  CLE credit is available for lawyers and judges from podcast.njsba.com.

Bad Faith - Episode 442 – Donald Trump’s Ceasefire? (w/ Max Blumenthal & Sam Husseini)

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast

Just days after they were both forcibly removed from Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken's final press conference, independent journalists Sam Husseini & Max Blumenthal joined Bad Faith to discuss their respective strategies for how to make the most out of Blinken's last presser before Trump took power, what the corporate media's reaction means about the current state of journalism, and what they anticipate for the fourth estate under Trump. They go on to have a broader conversation about the ceasefire agreement, the likelihood it will hold, and why it is that lame duck Joe Biden allowed Trump this win when achieving even a temporary ceasefire months ago might have won Democrats the White House.
