Summary

On this edition of The Remnant, Jonah went around the (metaphorical) corner of the (also metaphorical) office and got colleague Sarah Isgur to come on the program for all sorts of legal-beagle nerdery. Sarah explains the constitutional provisions kicking into effect that are helping to slow down the chaos surrounding the November election results, what on earth is going on in Texas, and much more. Classic Remnant wonkery is then balanced out in the latter half of the show, as Jonah and Sarah both share their spiciest takes on The Queen’s Gambit and why it may not live up to the hype. Show Notes: -Sarah’s podcast with David French, Advisory Opinions -Sarah’s newsletter, The Sweep -Texas’ original jurisdiction suits against other states -“The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes” -Centennial Crisis: The Disputed Election of 1876 by William Rehnquist -AEI’s After the People Vote -The “witchcraft” of signature matching -The Bailey Cranberry Separator -Colorable argument -Jonah and Queen’s Gambit Learn more about your ad choices.
