Amarica's Constitution Podcast-7/23-The Surprising Score


The SCOTUS term is behind us, and we take a look back – not just at this term, but at the entirety of the Roberts Court. What are the most important constitutional cases of its time? Where do the justices line up on the important cases – that is, how often are they in the majority; how often is the opinion right-leaning, as many believe is usually the case, and how many are left-leaning? How often is the Court “clearly wrong” according to Professor Amar? And where does Professor Amar come out in terms of his alignment with the Court? The cases may be familiar, but our own look at this suggests to us that you may well be surprised when it all gets added up. We also have some listeners’ questions, and they turn out to be more far-ranging than you might have expected.
