Summary
In this special New Year episode - John shares his latest episode of his podcast with Professor Corey Brettschneider - The Oath and the Office. They start with the Supreme Court checking Trump on using the National Guard—why it matters, and whether the Insurrection Act is the next risk. That ruling is their doorway into a 2025 Year in Review: where they revisit Trump’s most dangerous attacks on the Constitution, and the guardrails that barely held. Next, they break down Judge James Boasberg’s escalating confrontation with the administration over deportations tied to the 1798 Alien Enemies Act. Can the government claim people sent to Venezuela have no due process rights? And can courts be told it’s “too late” once they’re out of the country? They explain what the Constitution requires and what’s at stake for the rule of law. Finally, they turn to Florida, where Ron DeSantis’s remake of New College offers a blueprint for a broader war on education—replacing what they label “woke” with enforced ideology, down to symbolic culture-war moves like honoring Charlie Kirk.
