Amazing lecture by Akhil Amar at @Yale reunion. Only a few balcony seats remain. Topic: “Constitutional Issues in the Age if Trump.”

Hey @jbf1755, Amar just name-checked you. Sorry I missed your lecture yesterday

Erudite and entertaining discussion of how Reconstruction amendments recast the Bill of Rights. Also “This is America. You have a right to have a dog. It doesn’t say that in the Constitution. The day they come for my dog is the day I buy a gun.”

He recommended we read the 1917 short story “A Jury of her Peers” by Susan Glaspell.

Explains that electoral college was about slavery, not about big v. small states.
