Mixing sharp wit and serious political fire, The Oath and The Office is where hard-hitting constitutional analysis meets razor-sharp comedy. Distinguished political science professor Corey Brettschneider teams up with comedian John Fugelsang to break down the most powerful 35 words in American democracy—the presidential oath of office. Every president swears to “preserve, protect, and defend” the Constitution, but what happens when one openly attacks democracy and the rule of law itself? Each week, Corey and John pull no punches, exposing the latest threats to the rule of law and demanding accountability. Smart, fearless, and wickedly funny—this is the civics lesson you can’t afford to miss.Corey Brettschneider Ciencia Política Política y Gobierno

  • Trump’s Shutdown Ends — Why Did Justice Jackson Let Him Withhold SNAP Benefits?

    Trump’s Shutdown Ends — Why Did Justice Jackson Let Him Withhold SNAP Benefits?
    Nov 13 2025
    Trump’s shutdown is finally over — but the way it ended reveals deeper problems inside our democracy. In this episode of The Oath and The Office, Corey Brettschneider and John Fugelsang break down how Trump pushed the country to the brink, why Democrats stepped in to end the standoff, and why the courts never had the chance to weigh in.

    We analyze Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s surprising procedural move that allowed Trump to pause food-stamp payments — and why she signaled she would have ruled differently if the full Court had acted. We also examine the Supreme Court’s refusal to hear Kim Davis’s appeal, what it means for marriage equality, new reporting on whether Trump’s allies profited from presidential pardons, and the surreal “Sandwich Guy” case that raises real questions about American democracy.

    The shutdown may be over, but its aftermath shows how political chaos becomes a test of the Constitution — and how fragile the rule of law remains.

  • The Case That Could Finally Stop Trump | Dahlia Lithwick

    The Case That Could Finally Stop Trump | Dahlia Lithwick
    Nov 6 2025
    This week on The Oath and The Office, Corey and John trace the pattern of Trump’s lawlessness — from unions suing over his surveillance of non-citizens’ social media to his effort to strip gun rights from marijuana users, a selective “law and order” move aimed at his non-allies.

    Then Corey sits down with Slate’s Dahlia Lithwick for a wide-ranging conversation about the Supreme Court tariffs case — and what it could mean for the limits of presidential power. Together they explore three central issues: Trump’s abuse of emergency powers, the DOJ’s misleading statements in court, and what Corey and Dahlia agree amounts to a DOJ shakedown.

    It’s a conversation about how far Trump’s lawlessness has gone — and whether this case might finally be where the courts push back.
