Vigilante Nation - 'The Legal Edition' Interview With Author & Law Professor David Noll

In a riveting interview with Rutgers Law Professor & Co-Author of Vigilante Nation - David Noll, we explored several themes raised in his book. How Reconstruction and Jim Crow era of the late 19th to mid 20th centurys shaped our democracy and prejudices - some still ongoing today. Included in that discussion was historical discrimination against women and minorities - from access to reproductive healthcare, to casting their votes - including the current “SAVE” Act - that Republican legislators are currently voting on which would limit those “married women” who changed their name - making it harder for them to vote. That is, making married women jump through hoops to prove their birth name, and any subsequent name change upon marriage.

Additional discussion on this new era of “redefining”who are the “right” kind of Americans who should be able to cast their vote. Further discussion on why the stigma around voting never seems to go away, despite the Voting Rights Act, and Constitutional Amendments that have acknowledged that voting is a fundamental right in America.

Further discussion on State’s Rights, Christian Nationalism to the International Arena - How America is now been seen by its “allies” and trading partners around the world - and not in a good light. Now that this new “administration” has taken the reigns, how America’s allegiance to nations and their people who have always had America’s back, are now seemingly being cast by the wayside.

Joing me and professor Noll in a vigorous discussion on the issues troubling America - and what the American people can do NOW - to help turn the current trajectory of “democratic backsliding” around.
