    Trump’s battles are spreading everywhere: from the Ivy League halls of Harvard to the Supreme Court’s shifting stance on religious liberty. Brettschneider and Fugelsang dive into Trump’s controversial attack on the Harvard Law Review—twisting the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to target student editors—and his shocking showdown with his one-time allies in the Federalist Society. Plus, the Supreme Court might soon allow religious opt-outs from school lessons about LGBTQ+ rights and could even greenlight religious charter schools, eroding the wall between church and state. Get ready for sharp insights and witty analysis in an episode about how Trump’s latest attacks on constitutional freedoms threaten America’s most fundamental freedoms.

  • The War That Didn’t End When We Thought: Michael Vorenberg on Lincoln and Today’s Disinformation

    The War That Didn’t End When We Thought: Michael Vorenberg on Lincoln and Today’s Disinformation
    2025/05/28
    This week on The Oath and The Office, co-hosts Corey Brettschneider and John Fugelsang welcome renowned historian and Lincoln scholar Michael Vorenberg. Best known for his groundbreaking book Final Freedom, which was part of the inspiration for Steven Spielberg’s acclaimed film Lincoln, Vorenberg now challenges the conventional wisdom about when the Civil War truly ended. His latest book, Lincoln’s Peace, argues compellingly that the war didn't conclude neatly at Appomattox in April 1865, but persisted into Andrew Johnson's presidency—shaping American democracy in ways we're still grappling with today.Corey, John, and Michael explore unsettling parallels between Civil War-era disinformation campaigns and the fractured information environment of today, especially around January 6 and ongoing threats to democracy. Vorenberg also offers critical insights into Lincoln's controversial constitutional decisions, including the suspension of habeas corpus, and whether they set troubling precedents for presidential power in modern America.But first, Corey and John break down this week’s critical legal headlines:
    • A federal judge blocks Trump's retaliatory sanctions against law firm WilmerHale.
    • The Supreme Court's troubling debate about ending nationwide injunctions amid arguments on birthright citizenship.
    • A court temporarily halts the Trump administration’s ban on foreign students at Harvard.

  • Supreme Threats: Melissa Murray on Dobbs, Democracy, and the Future of Abortion Rights

    Supreme Threats: Melissa Murray on Dobbs, Democracy, and the Future of Abortion Rights
    2025/05/21
    NYU Law Professor and renowned constitutional expert Melissa Murray joins Corey Brettschneider and John Fugelsang on The Oath and The Office for a vital discussion on abortion rights, the Supreme Court, and the health of democracy. Melissa exposes the dangerous myths behind the Supreme Court’s claim that the Dobbs decision simply returns abortion to the states. She warns about the potential for a nationwide abortion ban. Offering powerful insight, she argues persuasively why democracy and the 14th Amendment demand robust protection for reproductive rights. Melissa also shares optimism about the profound constitutional promises that remain—even amidst the current threats. But first, Corey and John unpack recent disturbing attacks on democratic norms:
    • Politicized Justice: Recent criminal charges against a sitting member of Congress raise urgent questions about the weaponization of justice.
    • Venezuelan Deportations: The Supreme Court has temporarily halted controversial mass deportations under the Alien Enemies Act, highlighting serious concerns about due process and executive overreach.
    • Silencing Dissent via Tax Policy: A troubling House bill threatens nonprofits and universities critical of the administration, stripping nonprofit status and imposing punitive endowment taxes designed to stifle opposition.
    Join Corey, John, and Melissa Murray as they deliver essential constitutional analysis and fearless commentary on threats facing American democracy today.
