I'm Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, and welcome to We the People, a weekly show of constitutional debate.

The National Constitution Center is the only institution in America chartered by Congress to do this. Constitutional Constitution

on a non-partisan basis.

And we the people, listeners, I now want to add the second part of that inspiring

congressional model because it's so important as well in order to increase

understanding and awareness of the US Constitution among the American people and that is the inspiring educational

goal of this podcast.

We're speaking today from Yale Law School where the heads of the Federalist Society

and the American Constitution Society have accepted our

invitation to take this show on the road and we are so exciting, rather we're so excited

to talk about one of the most important voting rights cases of this Supreme Court term

Vee versus Abbott. The question is whether voter ID provisions adopted in Texas violate the 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitution and also Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

And joining us to discuss these crucial questions

are two of America's leading practitioners

of election law and were the opponents in some of the most important voting rights cases of our time.

Debo Attic Bile is partner and co-chair of the anti-discrimination practice

and Wilmer Hale.

He currently serves as a commissioner on the US Commission

on Civil Rights, appointed by President Obama in 2016.

Devo argued Shelby County versus Holder, and Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District

Number One, that exhaustively named but really important case known as Namundo, both before the Supreme Court.

And Will Konsavoy is partner at Konsavoy McCarthy Park law firm.
