Sam Moyn

Legal scholars Sam Moyn and Ilya Somin discuss the Supreme Court's consideration of disqualifying Trump under Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. They debate the legal merits, political implications, and interplay of law and politics surrounding the issue. Topics include interpretation of the amendment, definition of insurrection, impact on Trump's political success, feasibility of disqualification, and the Supreme Court's role in constitutional constraints.

Last December, a German court convicted a 97-year-old former Nazi camp secretary of complicity in the murder of more than 10,000 people in what the media called—once again—the last Nazi trial. After almost eight decades, the Holocaust is still being litigated, remembered, and all-too-often misremembered.Lawfare managing editor Tyler McBrien sat down with Linda Kinstler, author of the book, “Come to This Court and Cry: How the Holocaust Ends,” and Sam Moyn, a professor of both history and law at Yale University, to discuss Linda's book. They talked about Linda's stunning discovery in Latvia that led her to tell this story, the limits of the law in holding perpetrators of mass murder accountable, and whether the antonym of forgetting is not remembering, but justice.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.
