Coffee With the Constitution

Hello All! Today we have a bit of a different podcast on this channel. Since I am in Washington D.C. for the summer, I've had the opportunity to observe and have a lot of really interesting experiences. It has also made me realize that my perceptions of certain parts of politics are completely different than the reality. So today, I will be sharing a bit about what Congressional Hearings look like and the general structure of a hearing! Hope you all enjoy.

Hello All! Welcome to the fourth episode of this miniseries where I am describing each amendment to the US Constitution. Today, we will be looking at the history, wording, and meaning behind one of the most crucial amendments impacting the country— the fourth amendment against unreasonable searches and seizures. Hope you all enjoy!

Hello All! Welcome to this new episode of Coffee Date with the Constitution. In this episode, we will be talking about a recent SCOTUS case that has rocked the nation. The case Students for Fair Admissions Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College ended decades-long precedent, deeming affirmative action as unconstitutional and a violation of students' civil rights. This essentially means that universities can no longer use race as a factor in admissions processes. Today, I break down a bit of the oral arguments in this case, central points made by both the petitioners and respondents, and how schools and the country are attempting to move forward post-affirmative action.

Hello Everyone! Welcome to this new episode of Coffee Date with the Constitution! This past week marked the one year anniversary of when the Supreme Court ruled on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, and therefore, when they overturned Roe v. Wade (1973) and the right to abortion. In this episode, we review what the Dobbs case was, the negative effect that it has had on people around the US, and the Biden Administration's effort in mitigating those negative effects.

Hello Everyone! In today's episode, I'm doing a deep analysis of the recently decided Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case and the subsequent overruling of landmark Supreme Court decisions such as Roe v. Wade (1973) and Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) along with other related cases. We will be examining the oral arguments and the majority, concurring, and dissenting opinions from Dobbs which laid the framework for the overturning of Roe and Casey. Listen to this episode if you hope to learn about the Constitutional arguments made by the Petitioners and Respondents in the Dobbs case, and the ways in which the Supreme Court Justices interpreted the Constitution in deciding the future of abortion rights in America. Hope you all enjoy and stay tuned for next week's episode about other highly controversial cases that the Supreme Court has just decided on!

Hello Everyone! Today I will be discussing a new court case that is making its way through the Supreme Court as we speak- a case that is causing much controversy because it is reexamining the subject of abortion rights in the United States. Additionally, we will be discussing several landmark SCOTUS cases- such as Griswold v Connecticut (1965) and Roe v Wade (1973)- that have shaped abortion laws over the past few decades. Lastly, I will be talking about the implications behind having new justices on the Supreme Court as well as the partisan divide regarding abortion in the 21st century. 

Hello Everyone!

In this episode, we have all come together to do a quick overview of many famous first amendment court cases having to do with the Freedom of Religion, Petition, Assembly, and Press. Specifically, we observe the Freedom of Speech and how it is impacted by social media networks such as Instagram and Facebook. We look into what constitutes as "true threat" in terms of speech and how the barometer for measuring that has changed over time, but mostly in the 21st century. Hope you all enjoy and have a great day!
