They Did Their Part

About this episode

The episode discusses the responsibilities we owe to fallen soldiers and the importance of participating in democracy, especially during midterm elections.

This Memorial Day, I ask one hard question: what do we actually owe the men and women we bury with flags? Drawing on four decades inside the American legal system, I make the case that honoring the fallen means more than a moment of silence at a graveside. It means refusing to look away from a democracy I believe is in genuine danger. I explain why, when I’m not litigating in court, I’m spending my time writing and speaking about politics, why I see conflicts of interest and self-dealing at the highest level of government, and why this year’s midterms may be the most consequential vote of your lifetime. This is not a both-sides are at fault kind of episode, and I do not pretend otherwise. It is a direct, plainspoken challenge from someone who has spent my career recognizing how power behaves when it thinks no one is keeping score. The soldiers we remember on Monday did their part. This episode is about ours. Make sure you are registered. Make sure the people you love are registered. Then make sure everyone votes in the midterms. Full stop.
