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

LOL! Der dee der. npr hoisting mistal. How cute. Keep it up ellie. Kinda indicates what law schools sometimes put out.
NPR can hate us on their own dime.
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?
Enough said about this "scholar".

A big problem. A worthwhile book.
Elie Mystsl is a legal scholar? That’s as much of an oxymoron as Islamic scholar 😖🤦🤡
“Most Americans” voted for what’s happening now, Elie.
She who frames the questions gets the result they desire.
Isnt this guy the racist dandelion looking freak?
Skimmed thru the transcript. We are paying for these idiots. Shut down NPR.
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.
Loonie toons from NPR.
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”.
