Amar sees things clearly but he could be more humble
Amar does not have Trump Derangement Syndrome. To the contrary, he sees Trump for the existential threat and vacuous blowhard that Trump is. If Amar has a fault (and don’t we all) it is that, at heart, he is insecure in his status as a preeminent scholar and authority - he is truly both, but terribly insecure; thus his incessant self-promotion. Andy Lipka is becoming a shining star of these podcasts as he gently and with good humor pulls Amar back on track. Lipka has many great observations; he adds much to the interest of these discussions. Lipka is surely Amar’s intellectual equal. And that’s what makes this podcast worth listening to despite Amar’s insecurity.

Andy can cite Law & Order episodes chapter and verse (S5E10 House Counsel)! Also, both hosts are brilliant and insightful. 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 »
