For our fiftieth episode, we review Trump’s pressure on Alaskans to repeal ranked choice voting and how his war with Iran might reduce the likelihood of an Alaskan gas line. We also discuss quotes of the week and the Constitution’s Pardons Clause.

On this week’s show, we discuss how huge new visa fees threaten to worsen Alaska’s teacher shortage, how federal actions have opened new opportunities for graft, and how the Constitution’s 25th Amendment is not the panacea some hope it might be.

For this episode, we review Trump’s recent executive order on mail-in ballots in light of the Constitution’s Postal Clause. We also discuss significant changes in how the US Forest Service will be organized in Alaska.

This week, we discuss how a looming US Supreme Court decision might stymie state legislative efforts to improve voting in Alaska, and we ponder recent statements by current and former Trump officials on sending ICE to the polls. We also ponder the meaning of the Constitution’s rarely reviewed Two-Year Clause, and play “Who Said It?”.

This week we discuss new federal oil lease sales in Alaska, new hate speech by federal officials outside Alaska, and how the SAVE Act would be a possible unconstitutional return of poll taxes to Alaska. Rachel also presents John with an especially difficult version of “Who Said It”, our weekly quiz game.

This week, we review one way the Constitution might stymie Trump's attempt to save the SAVE Act. The negative side of high oil prices for Alaska, the appearance of clown shoes in the White House, and more.

On this week's show, we'll have our three usual segments. The first will be headlines. That's when we talk about a recent news story that caught our attention that we'd like to share with you. And then we'll have "Who Said It", a weekly quiz game where Rachel tries to stump John about the week's news. And then finally, we close out our show with plain reading. That's when we talk about a section of the United States Constitution.

Join us this week as we review how the SAVE Act would affect Alaska especially hard and how the 19th Amendment will likely be no protection for women’s voting rights. We also play another round of 'Who said It?”.
