Podcast:The Republican Professor Published On: Sat May 14 2022 Description: Join our warm conversation with our distinguished guest, the Salvatori Professor of American Constitutionalism at Claremont McKenna College, part of The Claremont Colleges Consortium, Dr. Ralph Rossum, Ph.D. Professor Rossum taught the American Founding with the late Antonin Scalia, and has a best-selling two-volume Constitutional Law textbook called American Constitutional Law (with Alan Tarr) which is in its at least 11th Edition as of this recording. We discuss his powerful book "Federalism, the Supreme Court, and the Seventeenth Amendment: The Irony of Constitutional Democracy" which is available at your local book dealer. Dr. Rossum also takes some time to recount a few charming anecdotes of Antonin Scalia and of his supervisor at the University of Chicago, the late scholar of the American Founding (especially the Anti-Federalists), Dr. Herbert J. Storing, Ph.D. The Republican Professor is a pro-correctly-understanding-the-American-Founding, pro-correctly-contemplating-American-Constitutional-Law, pro-charming-anecdotes-of-great-scholars-and-Justices-of-the-Supreme-Court podcast. Therefore, welcome Ralph Rossum. The Republican Professor podcast is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.
