Show notes

Aziz Huq is the Frank and Bernice J. Professor at the University of Chicago Law School and associate professor of sociology. His books include How to Save a Constitutional Democracy, The Collapse of Constitutional Remedies, and The Rule of Law: A Very Short Introduction. His scholarship is published in leading law, social science, political science, and criminology journals. He also writes for Politico, the London Review of Books, and many other general interest publications.

Before teaching, Aziz represented civil liberties claimants with the Brennan Center for Justice, and worked for the International Crisis Group in Afghanistan, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. He was also a law clerk for Appeals Court Judge Robert D. Sack and the late U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. His latest opinion piece in Politico is titled, Will the Supreme Court Stand Up to Trump if He Sends Troops to Chicago…The military isn’t supposed to act as a national police force.

Aziz joins me for an insightful conversation about the latest Supreme Court rulings over immigration and Trump's termination of FTC Commissioner. We also discuss the recent lower court rulings on National Guard deployment in LA, Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act regarding deportations, the cuts to Harvard's research funding, and the legality of his tariff policies.
