Excellent



Charlottesville

August 29, 2022


Audible has a number of The Great Courses. I picked this one so I could sound smarter when talking with my Harvard Law daughter-in-law.


I have learned so much. Professor Berger is that professor we wish we had for every course — enthusiastic, engaging and focused. The course does not go through every sentence of the Constitution — it’s at a higher level: why do we have one, important rulings over the years, how interpretations have changed over time. I have found his discussion of state versus federal to be the most interesting. Plus I have a better understanding of the reality of “calling balls and strikes.” That reality is that some justices are Angel Hernandez, some call a tight strike zone, some a slightly larger zone and all are aware when the last batter is up in a perfect game.


Highly recommended.

June 1, 2023 No news on the balloon since April. Has Congress held hearings? I'm surprised that release of more information wasn't part of the debt ceiling negotiations! Just being a jerk!
