On this episode of rationally BASED, our hosts, law professor Ilan Wurman and Kathryn Johnson and Grace Keating, discuss Don Lemon and the freedom of the press and what that also teaches us about Citizens United. They recall the famous State of the Union where Justice Alito made a face at President Obama, and discuss whether judges like Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson should be allowed to be political and attend the Grammys. They trace the origins of the New Deal state and the expansion of the commerce clause and offer to defend Don Lemon if he’s willing to sacrifice the New Deal. They then turn to the Census and whether illegal aliens must count for apportionment. They throw in a dash of Norman Conquest to top it all off.
