Appeal prospects and the independent state legislature claim

Sarah Isgur and David French discuss the Virginia State Supreme Court striking down the state’s new congressional maps, Neal Katyal’s TED talk that we don’t want to talk about, and David plays a fun constitutional “Would You Rather” game.

The Agenda:
–Virginia’s gerrymandering map is unlawful
–The left can’t get mad at the right when the right tried the independent state legislator argument
–What really won the trillion-dollar Supreme Court case
–Who is Harvey?
–Shout out to the coolest AP Government teacher ever?

Show Notes:
–Supremely Cringe: Neal Katyal And ‘TED-Gate’
