  • Bad Vibes & Broken Oaths: Leah Litman on a Lawless Supreme Court

    Bad Vibes & Broken Oaths: Leah Litman on a Lawless Supreme Court
    2025/05/07
    Law professor Leah Litman (University of Michigan) – co-host of Strict Scrutiny – joins co-hosts Corey Brettschneider and John Fugelsang on The Oath and The Office for an urgent, witty deep-dive into the chaos at the heart of American law and democracy. Litman discusses her new book Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes, shredding the myth of a neutral Court.Litman compares today’s conservative-dominated Supreme Court to Patrick Bateman in American Psycho – outwardly polished but fueled by disturbing impulses. With principled passion and humor, she unpacks the so-called “Kensurrection” and reflects on the toxic legacy of Citizens United. It’s a candid conversation that exposes the Court’s bad vibes and asks: Who will uphold our Constitution when those entrusted to protect it go lawless?But first, Corey and John break down this week’s legal news highlights:
    • Trump’s Oath Controversy – Former President Donald Trump makes a jaw-dropping assertion that the presidential oath might not obligate him to uphold the Constitution – even though those 35 words clearly bind him to “preserve, protect, and defend” it.
    • Executive Order Smackdown – A federal court pushes back on Trump’s latest executive order aimed at punishing his political opponents (and their law firms), ruling that even a president can’t weaponize the law to settle scores.
    • DOGE Under Fire – A flurry of over 30 lawsuits challenges the constitutionality of Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), raising alarm bells over separation of powers. Can Elon Musk really run roughshod over the administrative state without Senate confirmation?
    • Justice Jackson Claps Back – In a rare move, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issues a public rebuke of Trump’s attacks on the judiciary – an unprecedented show of internal judicial solidarity against political intimidation.
    Mixing sharp wit with serious constitutional insight, this episode delivers hard-hitting analysis with heart. It’s a fearless, principled discussion that balances outrage and optimism—guaranteed to resonate with Strict Scrutiny fans and anyone worried about democracy’s future.

  • 100 Days of Democratic Destruction: Trump, Executive Orders, and Constitutional Crisis

    100 Days of Democratic Destruction: Trump, Executive Orders, and Constitutional Crisis
    2025/04/30
    In this essential episode of The Oath and The Office, hosts Corey Brettschneider and John Fugelsang dissect Trump’s first 100 days, highlighting dangerous executive orders that threaten constitutional democracy. They examine two alarming categories: orders so clearly unconstitutional that courts may swiftly block them, and subtler actions rooted in the “unitary executive theory” paving the road toward autocracy. Despite this grim landscape, Trump’s poll numbers reveal a weakening presidency—are historical democratic norms finally rallying public resistance? Corey and John also provide a deep investigative look into the Supreme Court’s temporary halt on Trump’s controversial deportations to El Salvador, exposing the flawed, punitive point system used against vulnerable migrants. Plus, they delve into the troubling arrest of a Wisconsin judge, drawing powerful historical parallels to the state’s legacy of judicial resistance against slavery. Ending with optimism, they cover a federal judge’s ruling protecting Voice of America from Trump’s political interference, underscoring the ongoing fight for judicial independence and free press.
