Description

Recently, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that is equal parts baffling and dangerous: Moore v. Harper. On paper, it is about partisan gerrymandering. In reality, it's about a radical legal fiction that could upend constitutional law as we know it. Lindsay Langholz speaks with Allison Riggs from the Southern Coalition for Southern Justice, a member of the legal team representing the non-state respondents in Moore, about the case and this radical legal fiction known as the independent state legislative theory.

Ever feel like the law is stacked against you? It probably is. Broken Law speaks truth to power in discussing how our laws and legal system serve the few at the expense of the many. This is where law meets real life. Hosted by the staff of the American Constitution Society, we reckon with the origins of our legal system, interview people on the frontlines of the progressive legal movement, and chat about necessary legal reforms to restore our democratic legitimacy and improve the lives of all people.
