Description

In our 150th episode, we present the amicus brief in Moore v. United States, authored by Professor Amar with his brother, Professor Vikram Amar.  Reminder: CLE credit is available after listening by going to podcast.njsba.com.  The brief begins with the provocative statement that most other briefs in the case have missed the point?  What is the point that they missed?  We explain how their focus on the 16th amendment misses the basic constitutional questions which the Court answered back in 1796 in the Hylton v. US case. Who says so?  Some guys named Washington and Hamilton, to start. And this Lincoln fellow agreed later. But everyone seems to have missed this.  You won’t.
