About this episode
Following Akhil’s MSNBC appearance on “Velshi,” we elaborate on how a Republic is a Democracy. Does it matter - oh yes, and we explain why. Then we go back to the future - to the biggest Supreme Court case of the 18th century, with rock star Alexander Hamilton arguing, and the echoes resonate today. So why haven’t you heard of this case? Well, now you will, and follow a step-by-step explanation you won’t find anywhere else.
