Good Night . . . and Good Luck
Well, it's been ten years. A good run. But all things must come to an end.

The Constitution and 2020 - WETS Fundraiser
At last! A new episode!
Well, kinda. We're not yet resuming production (sorry), but Wayne and Stewart got together via Skype to discuss some of 2020's most pressing issues.
Their interview was part of WETS' 2020 fall fundraiser--so, if you're inclined to support the station that brings you "Your Weekly Constitutional," please consider making a donation. -
A Tale of Two Papers
Two of Stewart's students join us to discuss papers they wrote for his constitutional seminars.
First, Jennifer Bolt tells us about the history of slavery and human trafficking among Asian immigrants.
Then D.T. Christmas talks about, well, breasts.
Join us! -
The Deep State
Is there such a thing? Well, there’s certainly something called the Administrative State, governed by something called administrative law. Stewart’s colleague, Akram Faizer, is writing a new article on it.
He and Stewart discuss Akram's ideas and even argue a little bit about them. Turns out that Stewart has some pretty strong opinions on the subject. -
Presidential Smackdown! Andrew Jackson v. Donald Trump
Donald Trump likes to compare himself to Andrew Jackson. So do his supporters. So do his opponents, for very different reasons.
Are any of these comparisons valid? We ask a guy who should know: University of Tennessee historian Dan Feller, the Director of The Papers of Andrew Jackson. -
Exonerated! Part Two
This is Part Two of a two-part episode.
In Part One, we told you about Kristine Bunch, who experienced the worst thing that could happen to any parent: the death of her son, Tony.
Then we started to tell you what happened next: a false accusation of arson and murder, a conviction, and more than a decade in prison.
Now we’ll tell you the rest of Kristine’s story.

Sad to hear you go
Thank you so much for all your scholarly generosity! I love your perspectives and quizzes. Good luck to you Mr Harris- please come back to podcasting when you can.

Excellent Podcast, Excellent Host.
The well-informed host (a Vanderbilt Law grad I believe) discusses constitutional issues in a way that is interesting, relatable, and fun. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone interested in constitutional law, history, or current events.
Informative
I’m so glad I stumbled onto this podcast. Great way to learn about both the constitution and history. I’d recommend this to anyone who is interested in the law and learning more about how it plays into our daily lives.
