Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution

Elie Mystal
Ian MillhiserIan Millhiser

Elie wrote the most wildly entertaining book about the Constitution that I've ever read, which is saying something because he is clear-eyed and direct about why the Constitution is a fundamentally flawed document that is serving our nation poorly.

Ayn Rand

"The opening brief in Moore v. Harper... is one of the least persuasive documents that I’ve ever read in any context. And I’ve read both Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged, and Donald Trump’s Art of the Deal." https://t.co/UWwXVzKFZM

Opinion: U.S. v. Microsoft Corporation

United States Government
Ian MillhiserIan Millhiser

I know that this is a controversial view within the journalism profession, but my professional opinion is that reporters should apply an higher degree of skepticism to any claim made by a political party that attempted to overthrow the United States government.

Becoming Justice Blackmun: Harry Blackmun's Supreme Court Journey

Linda Greenhouse
Ian MillhiserIan Millhiser

For years, Linda was the preeminent Supreme Court reporter and a model for aspiring journalists like myself. Her study of the author of Roe v. Wade is, sadly, timely because it is now a window into a world that so recently was smothered.
