You ready?

I was born ready. Welcome to advisory opinions.

I'm Sarah Isger, that's David French, and have we got a pod for you today?

So first, we will talk about Dean Erwin-Chimberinsky at Berkeley Law hosting a dinner at his house that was met with a little disruption.

Then we'll talk about a Supreme Court decision on takings clause stuff.

spoiler alert, it was unanimous.

We'll talk to Bob Bauer, former White House Council to President Obama.

He also was the co-chair of the Presidential Commission on Election Administration and the

co-chair of President Biden's Presidential Commission

on the Supreme Court of the United States.

He is joined by my former professor,

Jack Goldsmith, who is a professor at Harvard Law School and was the former assistant attorney

general for the Office of Legal Counsel. They have co-authored a book together on

fixing the presidency. So we'll talk about the Insuraction Act,

Special councils, the pardon power, war powers,

all of the ways that perhaps,

instead of just shaking our fist at Congress

to do their job,

we can also maybe him in the presidency.

Why isn't this getting more traction?

All right, so first up David, let's talk about the Dean of Berkeley Law School.

Erwin Schmerinsky is maybe the most famous living First Amendment
