このコンテンツについて

 Mixing sharp wit and serious political fire, The Oath and The Office is where hard-hitting constitutional analysis meets razor-sharp comedy. Distinguished political science professor Corey Brettschneider teams up with comedian John Fugelsang to break down the most powerful 35 words in American democracy—the presidential oath of office. Every president swears to “preserve, protect, and defend” the Constitution, but what happens when one openly attacks democracy and the rule of law itself? Each week, Corey and John pull no punches, exposing the latest threats to the rule of law and demanding accountability. Smart, fearless, and wickedly funny—this is the civics lesson you can’t afford to miss.Corey Brettschneider 政治・政府 政治学

  • The Case That Could Finally Stop Trump with Dahlia Lithwick

    The Case That Could Finally Stop Trump with Dahlia Lithwick
    2025/11/06
    This week on The Oath and The Office, Corey and John trace the pattern of Trump’s lawlessness — from unions suing over his surveillance of non-citizens’ social media to his effort to strip gun rights from marijuana users, a selective “law and order” move aimed at his non-allies.

    Then Corey sits down with Slate’s Dahlia Lithwick for a wide-ranging conversation about the Supreme Court tariffs case — and what it could mean for the limits of presidential power. Together they explore three central issues: Trump’s abuse of emergency powers, the DOJ’s misleading statements in court, and what Corey and Dahlia agree amounts to a DOJ shakedown.

    It’s a conversation about how far Trump’s lawlessness has gone — and whether this case might finally be where the courts push back.

  • Rep. Ted Lieu on Stopping Trump’s Power Grabs — From Tariffs to Nukes

    Rep. Ted Lieu on Stopping Trump’s Power Grabs — From Tariffs to Nukes
    2025/10/30
    Corey Brettschneider and John Fugelsang trace how “no taxation without representation” connects to today’s fight against Trump-style presidential overreach. Corey discusses his Supreme Court brief on tariffs and the Founders’ vision for congressional control. Then, California Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu joins the guys to discuss his bill banning first-strike nuclear attacks without congressional approval — a bold move to stop the next Trump from seizing unchecked power.

    From tariffs to nukes, this is the battle to save Congress’s role — and our democracy itself.

  • When Courts Fail and Universities Fight Back

    When Courts Fail and Universities Fight Back
    2025/10/23
    In this week’s episode of The Oath and The Office, Corey Brettschneider and John Fugelsang break down a deeply concerning new ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals — one that sides with Trump and the military, expanding executive power and eroding the cornerstone principle of civilian control.

    Corey explains how this decision, though largely overlooked, fits into a broader trend of judicial retreat: courts stepping back from their constitutional role as a check on power. From the weakening of voting rights to the courts’ growing deference to the executive branch, this case reveals how democracy can be hollowed out not in one blow, but by a series of quiet decisions.

    They also turn to Brown University’s rejection of Trump’s so-called “Academic Freedom Compact” — a rare act of institutional courage in an era when too many are willing to trade truth for access.

    Plus, Corey shares what he saw and experienced at the No Kings March in New York City and they feature audio from the rally. Hear what democracy sounds like, then watch Corey’s full field report here: youtube.com/watch?v=laNgItx5swk&t=299s
