Professor Elizabeth Joh teaches Intro to Constitutional Law and most of the time this is a pretty straight forward job. But when Trump came into office, everything changed. During the four years of the Trump presidency, Professor Joh would check Twitter five minutes before each class to find out what the 45th President had said and how it jibes with 200 years of the judicial branch interpreting and ruling on the Constitution. Acclaimed podcaster Roman Mars (99% Invisible) was so anxious about all the norms and laws being tested in the Trump era that he asked his neighbor, Elizabeth, to explain what was going on in the world from a Constitutional law perspective. Even after Trump left office, there is still so much for Roman to learn. What Roman Mars Can Learn About Con Law is a weekly, fun, casual Con Law 101 class that uses the tumultuous activities of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches to teach us all about the US Constitution.

All music for the show comes from Doomtree, an independent hip-hop collective and record label based in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Great intellectual discourses

I’m Dutch, and was looking for a podcast giving the opinions of Americans on the election of Trump. I found this podcast and enjoy it very much.
It displays a thorough knowledge of the constitutional law and the capacity to project it on the affairs of the current presidency.
The cases are clearly explained and put into context.
The tone of the conversation is gentle, in great contrast to that of the current president. However, it does not fail to pinpoint the lines Trump is crossing regarding good tradition, decency and respect.
