Constitutional scholars, including myself, are worried about the state of our democracy, our republic, and whether it can sustain the body blows happening to the separation of powers right now. If people care about having their individual liberties going forward, educating themselves for the sake of their children and their grandchildren about ift to do in this moment, anything, make your own decision, that is important. Whys the wife are part. Now it is almost like an antijaywalking law. Is eroding under our noses, but few people realize it. Can you expand on that . Guest there are two parts of the constitution.
