What the Oral Argument Should Have Said - Part 2
Thursday Feb 15, 2024
Thursday Feb 15, 2024
As promised, we return in very short order with the completion of our analysis and response to the oral argument in Trump v. Anderson - before the Court has ruled. Again, key clips from the argument are played and dissected. The previous Part I episode concentrated on arguments concerning self-execution of Section Three; this episode reviews many of the other issues addressed by the Court, from questions of the nature of the Presidential Election and the closely related Electoral College, to the persistent irritant of "officer" and "office" questions. As in the prior episode, Professor Amar “slows everything down” to allow you and hopefully the Court avoid sweet-sounding but flawed paths. This episode is posted 8 days early for this reason. Continuing legal education credit is available; visit podcast.njsba.com after listening.

I’m not a lawyer and I apologize if this was all covered by the estoppel question. If the Supreme Court had sided with Anderson, what would another state need to do to get the same result? Does this really have to be relitigated in every state once a scotus rule bans a candidate in one state?
