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.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-oath-and-the-office-7209235"},"episode":{"title":"Stacey Abrams on the SAVE Act: The New Voter Suppression Threat","slug":"stacey-abrams-on-the-save-act-the-new-voter-suppression-threat","published_at":"2026-03-19T09:30:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-oath-and-the-office-7209235/stacey-abrams-on-the-save-act-the-new-voter-suppression-threat","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-oath-and-the-office-7209235","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/stacey-abrams-on-the-save-act-the-new-voter-suppression-threat--70724338","audio_url":"https://api.spreaker.com/download/episode/70724338/031926_tonto.mp3","summary":"Is the SAVE Act really about election security — or is it a new blueprint for voter suppression? On this episode of The Oath and The Office, Corey Brettschneider and John Fugelsang break down the latest fight over the SAVE Act, why its proof-of-citizenship requirement could make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to register and vote, and what this battle reveals about the future of democracy. Then Stacey Abrams joins the show to explain what the bill would do, why it is so dangerous, and how the broader attack on voting rights fits into the Trump-era push to undermine democratic institutions. Also in this episode: Gregory Bovino is out, Judge Boasberg pushes back against politically charged legal tactics, and Trump lashes out at the courts yet again. This is a conversation about voter suppression, constitutional democracy, and who gets to decide the future of the country.
