New Episode: Alcoholic Originalism

Landor and Hemani

After a brief vacation hiatus, the latest episode of Divided Argument, Alcoholic Originalism, is up:

The big opinions are starting to drop, and we're doing our best to keep pace. We first discuss Landor v. Louisiana Department of Corrections, which concerns religious liberty, the scope of Congress's power to create remedies against individuals under the Spending Clause, and whether there's any redress if government officials literally throw your rights into a trash can. We then turn to United States v. Hemani, where the Court found that a federal law barring gun possession by unlawful drug users violated the Second Amendment and revealed that some of the Justices are surprisingly open-minded about marijuana's role in American society.

An episode about one of yesterday’s opinions should be up soon too. In the meantime, as always, feel free to comment below!
