Constitutional Law Professor James Sample was interviewed by The Washington Post about the continued legal challenges faced by allies of Donald Trump who spread falsehoods and tried to reverse his 2020 presidential loss.
“It’s almost like the very top of the food chain is going to go and get off without consequence. And the very bottom of the food chain – those who actually engaged in the day-of kind of activities – are going to be pardoned,” said Professor Sample. “But the folks who were in a sense the field leaders … seem to be the ones who are going to have the most lasting consequences.”
Professor Sample regularly comments on voting rights and constitutional issues in leading media outlets.

Dr. Meena Bose, Hofstra University professor of political science, executive dean of the Public Policy and Public Service program, and director of the Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency, was interviewed by the Oswego County Palladium-Times about a bill introduced by Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-Cleveland) that would make President Donald Trump’s birthday a national holiday.

Lawrence Levy, associate vice president and executive dean of the National Center for Suburban Studies, wrote an opinion piece for the Times Union: “Commentary: Don’t write off Hochul just yet.” He was also interviewed by Newsday about Lt. Gov. Antonio Delgado jumping into the governor’s race. Levy said Delgado has to be viewed as a “deep underdog.” His name recognition is low and Hochul already has $16 million in campaign funds, to Delgado’s $969,000. “Delgado has spent a lot of time traveling the state as lieutenant governor but I’m not sure what kind of network he built up,” Levy said.
