Religious Freedom & The Constitution Parts 1 &2

We've broached this subject before. But I really think these episodes are so spot on; especially as the right-wing of the spectrum is using this subject to weaponize religion. Lawrence G. Sager joins us to talk about the book he co-authored with Christopher L. Eisgruber in 2007 titled, ‘Religious Freedom and the Constitution.’ This aired in 2019. Lawrence Sager is one of the nation's preeminent constitutional theorists and scholars. Professor Sager currently teaches as the University of Texas. He previously taught at New York University School of Law, where he was Co-Founder of the Program in Law, Philosophy & Social Theory. He has also taught at Harvard, Princeton, Boston University, UCLA, and the University of Michigan. Sager is also the author of ‘Justice in Plainclothes: a Theory of American Constitutional Practice.’ Theme music "Nigal."
