This week on The Scaffidiology Podcast, Steve Scaffidi goes deep into the legal and political issues shaping the country with two of Milwaukee’s most respected legal minds: former U.S. Attorney James Santelle and attorney Matt O’Neill.
From the current state of the U.S. Department of Justice to recent efforts challenging long-standing Supreme Court precedents, the conversation covers some of the most consequential legal debates in America today. Santelle and O’Neill discuss what they describe as a “talent drain” within the DOJ, the evolution of executive power, and the legal theories shaping today’s political landscape.
The discussion also examines recent Supreme Court battles over redistricting, voting rights, and election law — including the Louisiana redistricting case and broader national disputes over voting access and constitutional authority.
It’s a wide-ranging and thought-provoking legal edition of Scaffidiology.
