Broken Law
Ever feel like the law is stacked against you? It probably is. Broken Law speaks truth to power in discussing how our laws and legal system serve the few at the expense of the many. This is where law meets real life. Hosted by the staff of the American Constitution Society, we reckon with the origins of our legal system, interview people on the frontlines of the progressive legal movement, and chat about necessary legal reforms to restore our democratic legitimacy and improve the lives of all people.

Episode 151: The Fraud of Originalism and a Progressive Alternative
As we approach the end of another Supreme Court term where originalism has dominated opinion after opinion in furtherance of an extremist conservative ideology, a question once again arises - how should progressives interpret the Constitution? Madiba Dennie joins Valerie Nannery to discuss her new book, The Originalism Trap, and how progressives can reclaim what the Constitution means.
