Author Elie Mystal on His New Book, “Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution”

In his newly released first book, Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution, legal scholar Elie Mystal, justice correspondent for The Nation, argues that the founders wrote the original Constitution narrowly and with such haste that they were forced to add on the Bill of Rights to remedy its gaping holes, rather like a “day-one patch” to a piece of prematurely released software. Elie Mystal is the Justice Correspondent for The Nation where he covers the courts, the criminal justice system, and politics. He writes the magazine’s monthly column “Objection!” He is also an Alfred Knobler Fellow at the Type Media Center. Mystal is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School.
