Wow. So grateful for this glowing review of Deadlock from Variety & @bristei:

"TV’s newest political potboiler is more erudite than 'The West Wing' and more intense than '24' — and it’s coming to, of all places, PBS."

The show premieres tmrw night!

Who's read every major newspaper story covering an act of abortion between 1830-1868??

My indefatigable co-author, Pat Cohen has!
We report on our findings in a new draft paper. TL: The law of abortion on the ground was NOTHING like Dobbs claimed it was. [Link below] 1/2

How far is too far? How fast is too fast? And ultimately, will AI control us or will we control it?

Excited to lead another prominent panel of experts through dilemma after dilemma in the latest #DeadlockPBS, premiering Oct. 27 at 9/8c on @pbs.

For 250 years, we Americans have lived by a set of core, democratic principles. But what happens when those principles face the ultimate stress test?

Excited to be back for BREAKING the DEADLOCK: HOW TO FIX AN ELECTION, premiering July 7 at 9/8c on @pbs. https://t.co/McrITgIa4U

[Mark Halperin @MarkHalperin]

As America marks its 250th birthday, I wanted to step back from the daily headlines and ask a bigger question: What has made this country exceptional—and what will determine its next 250 years?

On the new episode of @NextUpHalperin, I'm joined by @VDHanson and @AaronTangLaw for conversations on American exceptionalism, polarization, the Supreme Court, and the future of the American experiment.

I must confess that I was excited by Justice Jackson’s citation in Wolford v. Lopez to Originalism and Constitutional Construction, 82 Ford. L. Rev. 453 (2013) on the interpretation-construction distinction. https://t.co/pcdLgcNYAu

[Carlton Larson @carltonfwlarson]

Had an awesome time debating all things gambling on "Breaking the Deadlock" for @PBS. Apologies to noted Malaysian women's doubles badminton fan @WVUFLU

[Ed Elson @edels0n]

The 2024 U.S. sports betting market was worth nearly $18 billion. 20% of betting Americans lose money they can’t afford to lose. Something has to break.

I joined a panel led by UC Davis law professor @AaronTangLaw exploring the future of sports betting in BREAKING THE DEADLOCK: Gambling with Your Life, premiering tomorrow at 9/8c on @PBS. Stream on https://t.co/G88NT53SQn!

This is an incredibly powerful and hopeful essay, written by someone I deeply respect — even though we may not agree on some of the toughest moral questions facing our country.

So grateful @BayerPicciotti ran barefoot to make this all possible!!

On the adventure to join @PBS’s Breaking the Deadlock. Special thanks to @AaronTangLaw & @RogerSeverino_ https://t.co/NMBomtnJS9

[Roger Severino @RogerSeverino_]

In our "all judgment, no mercy" online age, it's refreshing to respectfully and thoughtfully engage with people I can't disagree with more, on issues as important as life and death, and come out with greater understanding, hopefully, on all sides.

Kudos to @PBS for putting on an engaging and entertaining series that embodies a better way to approach our conflicts.

@AaronTangLaw was a masterful story teller, and the production team were consummate professionals. The series deserves an Emmy.
