Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Steven Cash with Larry Mantle | The Rise of Authoritarianism in America: A Perspective from Former National Security Officials
Q: What can we do to stop what Leonard sees as the premeditated murder of suspected drug traffickers?
Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do, but your elected representatives can.
Rick Hasen with Larry Mantle | Can Democracy Hold? The 2026 Midterm Challenge
Q: What is the likelihood of the Supreme Court ruling on Proposition 50?
It's expected that the case over Proposition 50 will get to the Supreme Court, as the court will have to rule on direct appeals from lower courts in cases like this.
Rick Hasen with Larry Mantle | Can Democracy Hold? The 2026 Midterm Challenge
Q: What about proof of citizenship requirements for voting?
Documentary proof of citizenship laws cause significant disenfranchisement, especially for eligible voters who do not have the required identification.
Rick Hasen with Larry Mantle | Can Democracy Hold? The 2026 Midterm Challenge
Q: If Congress were to pass a law that would ban political gerrymandering, would that be subject to SCOTUS review?
Yes, Congress has broad power under the Constitution to make or alter rules related to congressional elections, and the Supreme Court has read this power very broadly.
Joyce Vance with Patt Morrison | The American Justice System, Part II: Still Testing the Limits
Q: What would happen if the courts delivered a judgment on them?
The courts could impose accountability, but that process is slow, and current policies allow for increased allowance of conduct that may violate constitutional rights without consequence.
