Professor Amar not an objective scholar
I have been listening to the Amarica’s Constitution podcast for a few years now. But I have to unfollow this podcast after the 2024 first court session. There are just too many instances that Professor Amar dresses his anti Trump viewpoints in legal opinions and constitutional interpretations. This is not legal scholarship but post-hoc advocacy. The idea that politically motivated legal prosecution and persecution of a president should be constitutionally sanctioned is absurd. I am convinced that the day that a former Democrat party President is legally pursued by a Republican administration is the day that Professor Amar will allow the Supreme Court to block that prosecution. The idea that the Bragg prosecution of Trump was a vindication of our legal system because a jury of 12 peers followed the corrupt instructions of the judge to convict is a tautology. In addition, Professor Amar’s tone is arrogant and dismissive of valid alternate viewpoints. It is unpleasant to listen to a scholar so impressed with himself that everyone who doesn’t agree with him is incompetent in interpreting the law.

More reviews of Amarica's Constitution
Professor Amar says laws passed before women had the right to vote ought to be struck down for that reason alone. Yet he defends the U.S. Constitution, which was ratified, checks notes, before women had the right to vote. What a deeply unserious thinker!

They bring a refreshingly honest perspective to constitutional issues and acknowledge that principled constitutional analysis does not always yield the result one wants...Read full review »

The amount of thought and care put into this podcast makes many others just seem like jokes. This podcast *almost* makes me want to go to law school.
