Description

Just last week, almost exactly 56 years after Bloody Sunday, the House passed a sweeping set of electoral and political reforms. What exactly is included in these reforms? And will they pass? (Spoiler alert - probably not because of the filibuster). 
Also, what is the latest news out of Georgia and Iowa when it comes to proposed changes to voting laws?
And finally, there's another suit against Trump related to the insurrection at the Capitol. Will he be held liable? 
Join us as we talk through these topics.

Is the constitution in crisis? This podcast is for people who are curious about politics and the law and how the biggest political and legal issues of the moment affect you. Pull up a chair and join host Jessica Levinson, a professor at LMU’s Loyola Law School, and a rotating cast of experts. Jessica will be joined by journalists, politicians, political scientists, lawyers, and many others. Listen to Jessica and her guests for a wry, and sometimes irreverent take on the most pressing issues of our time. What are the laws of our democracy? How are they changing? And what does that mean for your daily life?
