Kim Wehle: What to Make of the U.S. Constitution?
Episode description
Super Tuesday, March 3rd, 2020. Professor of law, a constitutional scholar, commentator and author Kim Wehle joined the John Adams to lay out exactly what was at stake in the election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The constitutional issues were, and still are, enormous.
In her book How to Read the Constitution – and Why Kim Wehle describes in clear language what is actually in the Constitution, and most importantly, what it means today. She also describes how the Constitution’s protections are eroding and why every American needs to heed this “red flag” moment in our democracy back in 2020 and right now. The book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the constantly breaking news about the backbone of American government.
