NYC Lawyer Dmitriy Shakhnevich Interviews Me on Wide Range of Law and Policy Issues

Topics covered include affirmative action, legacy preferences, the student loan forgiveness decision, refugee policy, indictments against Trump, Vladimir Putin, political ignorance, and more.

New York lawyer Dmitriy Shakhnevich, who has a series of videos interviewing a wide range of commentators on legal and political issues, has posted the video of this interview with me, covering a variety of topics I have written about.

For convenience, here is Shakhnevich's list of the issues we covered and llnks to where they occur in the video:

0:00–2:29: Analyzing the Supreme Court's recent affirmative action ruling

2:30–5:50: The racial inequities and historical discrimination that affirmative action is designed to rectify

5:51–7:50: Will legal efforts contesting Harvard's "legacy admissions" policy prevail? 7:51–12:31: The Supreme Court's recent decision regarding student loan forgiveness 12:32–15:31: The impact of biased media and Tucker Carlson's departure from Fox News

15:32–17:45: Are the recent indictments of Donald Trump bad for the US?

17:46–20:18: Is the US doing enough for Ukrainian refugees in the midst of the Russian invasion?

20:19–21:52: Will Vladimir Putin ever be held accountable for the invasion of Ukraine?

21:53–25:06: The difference between "classic liberals" and the "new right" in the US

25:07–27:53: Is free speech under attack in the US?

There is much material there to annoy right and left alike, depending on the issue!

Shaknevich has also done video interviews with a variety of other figures in law and public policy, including former ACLU President Nadine Strossen, longtime Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance, Jr., free speech expert Floyd Abrams, Greg Lukianoff (FIRE), and many others.
