Elie Mystal is the far-left justice correspondent at The Nation, where he writes about the courts, the criminal justice system and politics.[1]

A graduate of Harvard Law School, Mystal is also the author of Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution, which is intended to be a "easily digestible argument about what rights we have, what rights Republicans are trying to take away, and how to stop them."[2] Mystal's book, which was published by The New Press in March 2022, became a New York Times best-seller that same month.[3]

According to Salon, Mystal believes the United States Constitution is "actually trash."[4][5]
