The US Constitution is "the problem" with America today, so says Jon Stuart Leibowitz and Harvard professor Steven Levitksky.
From Newsbusters, "Stewart Asks If The Constitution 'Got Us Into This Mess' ": Jon Stewart welcomed Harvard Prof. Steven Levitsky to Comedy Central and Monday’s edition of The Daily Show to promote his new book, Tyranny of the Minority, where he wondered if the Constitution is to blame for the "mess" the country finds itself in.Partial transcript: LEVITSKY: Right. It was a couple things. First of all, it was a document created by people who feared democracy, who feared majority rule. Because majority rule didn't exist in the world in the 18th century.How nice of Leibowitz and Levitksky to lecture us on the "Tyranny of the Minority." Sounds a lot like what Paul Krugman was saying about Paul Waldman and Tom Schaller's new book, "White Rural Rage." "The problem," in this case, is that those evil whites full of "rural rage" could have a voice in the country their ancestors built. What is this "tyrannical minority" going to do next, get a bill passed to outlaw criticism of white people? Follow InformationLiberation on Twitter, Facebook, Gab, Minds and Telegram. |
