About this episode

Jonah Goldberg interviews Sarah Isgur about her new book and various judicial issues.

It’s here! Though scurrilous critics have long slandered Sarah Isgur as a one-trick pony and partisan hack, her friend Jonah Goldberg has stood with her through thick and thin. Now, with the publication of Sarah’s new book, Last Branch Standing, Jonah’s unflagging faithfulness has been vindicated. Join Jonah and Sarah as they discuss the great judicial issues of our day, including the anatomy riots, textualism vs. originalism, Sarah’s novel breakdown of the court, Buckley particles, big-case criteria, Clarence Thomas, Tom Brady’s underwear, the unbearable lightness of precedent, and fun facts about every justice.Show Notes:—Sarah Isgur: Last Branch Standing: A Potentially Surprising, Occasionally Witty Journey Inside Today's Supreme Court—Advisory Opinions Podcast—Lindsay Chervinsky Remnant—Remnant about Max Weber—Tom Brady on SNL—Most recent AO episodeThe Remnant is a production of ⁠The Dispatch⁠, a digital media company covering politics, policy, and culture from a non-partisan, conservative perspective.
