Christopher Jon Sprigman on Jurisdiction Stripping & Constitutional Change

In this episode, Christopher Jon Sprigman, Professor of Law at New York University School of Law, discusses his article "Congress's Article III Power and the Process of Constitutional Change," which will be published in the NYU Law Review. Sprigman begins by explaining how Article III of the Constitution permits Congress to drastically limit the Supreme Court's jurisdiction. He argues that Congress could effect constitutional change by prohibiting the Supreme Court from reviewing the constitutionality of legislation. And he suggests that it would make constitutional law more democratically legitimate. Sprigman is on Twitter at @CJSprigman.This episode was hosted by Brian L. Frye, Spears-Gilbert Professor of Law at the University of Kentucky College of Law. Frye is on Twitter at @brianlfrye. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
