Fables Of The Reconstruction: A Bunker mini-series for the 250th anniversary of the USA… Trump won’t be around forever. When he goes, does America need a root and branch rethink? We look at the pros and cons of new Reconstruction.
Today: Rip it up and start again? The US system was supposed to be a bulletproof arrangement of checks and balances. Trump has shown how easy it can be for an authoritarian to blast through all of it. So what can America do about it? Political analyst and professor of political science at Fairleigh Dickinson University Dan Cassino talks to Andrew Harrison about the need for Congress to do its job of limiting the President’s powers; where and how the Supreme Court needs fixing; and what happens when the arms of government fall under the power of one man.
