It's Time to Change the Constitution: Erwin Chemerinsky


Listen Later

We discuss why the Constitution—the document we've been taught to revere as the very foundation of American democracy—might actually be responsible for the current crisis in government. It might be leading us away from a more perfect union and toward destruction or even secession.

Erwin's civic action toolkit recommendations are:

  1. Be informed

  2. Get involved

  3. Speak out

Erwin Chemerinsky is the Dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law and one of the nation's leading constitutional scholars. His most recent book is No Democracy Lasts Forever: How the Constitution Threatens the United States, which urges us to think about starting over.
