Voracious Horatius

from Amarica's Constitution · host Akhil Reed Amar

As Akhil and Andy celebrate the publication this week of The Words That Made Us, Akhil tells a story from the book - the crazy election of 1800 and its just-barely-peaceful transfer of power. And what is John Marshall up to? He’s everywhere: Secretary of State and Chief Justice at once, a pseudonymous scheming columnist, and in the end, the man with the Bible in his hand to swear in the eventual winner: his cousin.
