lectured for One Day University. He was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2007. In 2008, U.S. presidential candidate Mike Gravel said that he would name Amar to the Supreme Court if elected president. Amar, a self-described liberal, has since engaged in advocacy considered controversial amongst progressives. He has argued in favor of Brett Kavanaugh's appointment to the court and has argued that overturning Roe v. Wade would not impact other privacy rights. He co-hosts a weekly podcast, Amarica’s Constitution, with a fellow Yale alumnus, Andy Lipka.
