More Perfect

A podcast about how the Supreme Court got so supreme. New episode every Thursday. Hosted by @hooliwho.

[Emily Siner @SinerSays]

One wonderful part of working on @MorePerfect is seeing law professors and history teachers use the podcast in their lessons. We're now compiling all the examples we can find of this.

Have you taught the podcast? Let me know!

This week on More Perfect: THE FUN CASE of the season, where the justices consider: Does the image on the right (a Warhol) TRANSFORM the image on the left (a photograph)?

[More Perfect @MorePerfect]

Tell us what you think — is the Warhol transformative?

A very fun listen, if I do say so myself...

Here's a story about art, Warhol, Prince, 2 Live Crew, and wtf the Supreme Court is actually doing when it makes decisions. https://t.co/jgCn0IqNZI

[Joshua Sosa @Jaysosa21]

Omg the whole back and forth over the lord of the rings and the hobbit was priceless.

[More Perfect @MorePerfect]

This week on More Perfect, how does the Supreme Court interpret art? In the case, we have Andy Warhol, who claims he’s not making art. The photographer, who claims Warhol’s a copycat. And Supreme Court justices, who insist they are not art critics. Listen: https://t.co/oiZmBNqrq4

For a contrast to someone else in the news, listen to this @MorePerfect w @hooliwho on David Souter, a justice with humility and an aversion to arrogating power in the judiciary who shied away from the spotlight https://t.co/qz4oFGxxO9

Where do our rights over our own bodies end and our duties to others begin? An answer lies in the story of a 1905 Supreme Court case about government-mandated vaccines.

A Massachusetts pastor named Henning Jacobson refused to be vaccinated against smallpox in 1902. His decision sparked a Supreme Court case that still reverberates today.

[Notes from America with Kai Wright @noteswithkai]

🎙️NEW EP: When most people talk about expanding the Supreme Court, they're talking about adding a few justices. Two or four to the bench.

@ElieNYC is not most people. He thinks we should just blow the lid and add 20 justices.
