    The Right to Redemption with Professor Rachel Lopez and Kempis “Ghani” Songster

    In this episode, activist Kempis “Ghani” Songster and Professor Rachel Lopez discuss their article, written with co-author Terrell Carter: Redeeming Justice. You can read their article here: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3728752. After Jones, mandatory life without parole sentences for juveniles remain unconstitutional; if someone under 18 is sentenced to life without parole under a mandatory sentencing scheme, that person is entitled to a rehearing. Yet the majority’s opinion in Jones suggests that youth need not be considered explicitly when LWOP is part of a discretionary sentencing scheme.

    Alienating Citizens & Denaturalization with Professor Amanda Frost

    In this episode, Amanda Frost, Professor of Law at American University, discusses her Essay, Alienating Citizens, in which she declares that denaturalization is back. Over the past couple of years, she explains, the Trump Administration has revived denaturalization. This episode and her Essay situate denaturalization within the Trump Administration’s broader approach to immigration. Under a policy known as “attrition through enforcement,” the Trump Administration has sought to discourage immigration and encourage “self-deportation.” For more, read Alienating Citizens in the Northwestern University Law Review Online here: https://northwesternlawreview.org/articles/alienating-citizens/ Keep an eye out for Unmaking Americans: A History of Citizenship Stripping in the United States, coming out in 2020.

    The Transgender Military Ban with Professor Michele Goodwin

    In this episode, Professor Michele Goodwin discusses her Essay, The Transgender Military Ban: Preservation of Discrimination Through Transformation, which she co-authored with Dean Erwin Chemerinsky. Their Essay contends that the Trump Administration’s ban on transgender individuals serving in the military is based on prejudice and bias, lacking any legitimate justification. The Essay identifies several problems with the Trump Administration’s policy to ban transgender individuals from serving in the U.S. military, and posits that promoting equality in the military will only occur when the humanity of those who wish to serve and are qualified to serve are permitted to do so with dignity and respect.
