A legal scholar talks about 10 laws he says are 'ruining America'
NPR ^ | 3/24/25 | Tonya Mosley

Posted on 04/01/2025 9:09:02 AM PDT by DallasBiff

In Bad Law, Elie Mystal argues that our country's laws on immigration, abortion and voting rights don't reflect the will of most Americans, and we'd be better off abolishing them and starting over.

This is FRESH AIR. I'm Tonya Mosley. My guest today, legal scholar Elie Mystal, says if it were up to him, every law passed before 1965 would be deemed unconstitutional. From his view, before the Voting Rights Act, the U.S. was basically an apartheid state. Mystal's new book, "Bad Law: Ten Popular Laws That Are Ruining America," mixes humor with deep analysis to argue that our laws on immigration, religious freedom, abortion and voting rights are actually making life worse than better. They've caused, he argues, massive social and political harm and don't reflect the will of most Americans

Yeeah riiight. NPR is non-partisan.

Defund NPR, let them try to push their radical left agenda in the private market.

I once read that “New laws are always sound like a good idea until the first time somebody needs to enforce them.”

That, alone, tells you everything you need to know about the Marxist "legal scholar."

No need to read further.

So the 13th Amendment was unconstitutional, huh, Elie?

“Most Americans” voted for what’s happening now, Elie.

Author claims economists “debate” whether deregulation reduced airline price inflation, saying fixed pricing increased costs in some markets and reduced it in others. Well, it did mean that airlines competed for who could offer you the most luxuries. But the flight from NY to Chicago was $500 in 1977, and would be almost $3,000 today, making flight ultimately unaffordable. That’s the route that would have been doing the most to fund other routes, so the one which should have gone up the least.

I was going to ask “Is that really someone they are touting as a “Constitutional Scholar”? But yes. That is him.

I didn’t want to soil my browser by going to NPR.

That is almost as bad as characterizing the author, Tonya Mosley, as a “Reporter”.
