Episode 80: A Radical Legal Fiction

Recently, the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case that is equal parts baffling and dangerous: Moore v. Harper. On paper, it is about partisan gerrymandering. In reality, it's about a radical legal fiction that could upend constitutional law as we know it. Lindsay Langholz speaks with Allison Riggs from the Southern Coalition for Southern Justice, a member of the legal team representing the non-state respondents in Moore, about the case and this radical legal fiction known as the independent state legislative theory.
