  • What is the Alien Enemies Act?

    What is the Alien Enemies Act?
    Jun 3 2025

    The Alien Enemies Act is a war power granted to the president that has only been used four times in US history since its creation in 1798. It allows the president to order the detention and deportation of noncitizens from "enemy" nations during war, invasion, or predatory incursion. When it was created, the US had a very different understanding of Constitutional rights, including due process, than we do today. We talk about how the Alien Enemies Act has been used throughout history, and how Constitutional law has evolved since 1798.

    Helping us out is Liza Goitein. She is the senior director of the Brennan Center’s Liberty and National Security Program.

It is hard to wait every week for a new episode! Fun to listen to, and on my favorite subject - american democracy. I appreciate how you guys break it down, even people who aren't nerds like me will be interested. My favorite episode is probably the first treason trial in the U.S. it really seems to include alot of founding fathers in a weird way... hope there are more federal case episodes to come. I appreciate the effort you guys put into educating.

Three Cheers!

Wanted a legal and an academic discussion of civics. They can’t help themselves to slant with a leftist viewpoint.

Was hoping for an even civics discussion but it devolved into a liberal leftist slant.

If you are a Make America Great Again republican, leave this alone. From chapter one, they call us radicals because we put America ahead of the world. It's a disgusting left-wing podcast. There is NOTHING educational about partisanship.

Marxism

Christopher Columbus is the reason that the United States exists. There would be no such thing as a “Latino” without Christopher Columbus. He was the first European explorer to establish a trade route here in at least 10,000 years. Nobody cares that he was an unsavory character. You are all lost.

Leftist historians are trash.
