The Civic Flame is where history meets hope. Hosted by a law and politics professor, it takes you inside the story of the U.S. Constitution—the debates that shaped it and the meaning it holds today. In a time of division, The Civic Flame offers something different: dialogue that sparks conversation instead of conflict. This is a call to revive thoughtful civic discourse and keep the flame of democracy burning bright.Dr. Fun Sponge Media Persönliche Entwicklung Persönlicher Erfolg Politik & Regierungen Sozialwissenschaften

    32: Mother of Democracy: Cornell and why it's time to ban money or men.
    Oct 1 2026

    In this episode we discuss the role of institutional betrayal and institutional cowardice at Cornell. The Cornell (5)7 rape (alleged) case has shown us one thing: that we need to ban money or men because we can't have both. The extreme wealth of Cornell means that they intended to protect the Epstein class and make sure they have a future to exploit the next generation, and that protection always favors men. This case also shows us the limits of women's ability to participate as rights-bearing fully equal citizens when they cannot even attend college without sexual violence. Stay furious and let's go.

    30: The 11th Amendment: State Sovereignty and the Amendment You've Probably Never Heard Of
    Sep 8 2026
    In this week's episode, we continue our walk through the Amendments. Today, we're covering one you've probably never heard of: the 11th Amendment. This Amendment clarifies the relationship between states and the federal government in court--or at least it tries to. We look at some famous cases like Chisholm v Georgia and some new cases out of Ohio to figure out the Eleventh Amendment and what it is up to today. Let's go.
