Constitution Breakdown #7: California AG Rob Bonta

Feb 27, 2026 · 1 hr 18 min

This is the seventh episode of our ongoing series breaking down the U.S. Constitution.

This month, Roman and Elizabeth discuss Article IV, which outlines the relationship between states and between states and the federal government. They add the 10th Amendment to the conversation, because that also talks about the states.

Then, California Attorney General Rob Bonta joins to talk about how his office is using Article IV and the 10th Amendment to protect the state from federal overreach.
