Well, next episode.
Can't rule it out.
Anyway, well, we will revisit on a future episode what exactly the recipes are.
But in the meantime, stay tuned for our conversation with Rick Hassan about the president's effort to undermine the midterm elections.
And now, the president's Hail Mary application to the Supreme Court to allow him to enforce his voting-slash-anti-voting executive order.
And for this conversation, we are delighted to be joined by our friend Rick Hassan, professor and founding director of the Safeguarding Democracy Project at UCLA.
Rick, welcome to the show.
It's great to be back with you.
So, Rick, we want to talk to you about the application that Trump filed last week in the Supreme Court in Trump v. California.
So at issue in that application is the March executive order that would largely assert presidential control over federal elections, which, just as a reminder to our listeners, under the Constitution are the province of the states.
subject to congressional, but very much not presidential, override.
Okay, before we get into the details of the application that's pending before the Supreme Court, can you just remind us what this executive order purports to do?
Right.
So, yeah, this is what's so sort of strange about the posture of this case, and we'll talk about the application in a second.
But everything you're describing, as Leah just mentioned, seems like it has the potential for enormous disenfranchisement.
The federal government, like this federal government, which we've just talked about, is like a clown show in all kinds of ways, is supposed to produce –
the authoritative list of voters, which states already have on their own, and then provide that to states.
And states then have the burden of explaining any divergence between their lists, which are probably much better, and the federal lists, which are cobbled together from federal data.
But it's there.
It's enormous potential for destabilization.
