In the 1857 Dred Scott case, Chief Justice Roger Taney wrote what might be the most horrible decision the Court has ever made. More than 150 years later, descendants of the decision come together to figure out what reconciliation looks like. Listen here: bit.ly/41ZRLrJ

🎙️NEW EP: When most people talk about expanding the Supreme Court, they're talking about adding a few justices. Two or four to the bench. Elie Mystal is not most people. He thinks we should just blow the lid and add 20 justices. 🎧 link.chtbl.com/notesfromameri…

For a contrast to someone else in the news, listen to this More Perfect w julia longoria on David Souter, a justice with humility and an aversion to arrogating power in the judiciary who shied away from the spotlight podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rad…

Two great podcasts with legal themes I enjoyed recently: No More Souters (on Justice Souter, Roe v Wade, importance of rule of law & precedent) More Perfect podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/rad… … and recently retired Mr Justice Mostyn on Off Air Times Radio podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/off…

This week on More Perfect, how does the Supreme Court interpret art? In the case, we have Andy Warhol, who claims he’s not making art. The photographer, who claims Warhol’s a copycat. And Supreme Court justices, who insist they are not art critics. Listen: bit.ly/41ZRLrJ

One wonderful part of working on More Perfect is seeing law professors and history teachers use the podcast in their lessons. We're now compiling all the examples we can find of this. Have you taught the podcast? Let me know!
