Current Events--The Trump Administration Arrives

Description

This episode deals with "current events"--some of the constitutional issues swirling around the arrival of the second Trump Administration. We discuss the use of the presidential power to pardon by Biden and Trump (and disagree a bit about whether there are legal limits on that power), the implications of the collapse of the criminal cases against Trump, the TikTok case and the effort to eliminate birthright citizenship and their relationship to originalist constitutional theory.
