In this episode of Good News for Lefties, we take a Deep Dive into the current state of the Constitution with Jeffrey Rosen, president and CEO of the National Constitution Center. We discuss the pressing challenges facing key amendments, including the First, Fourth, Fifth, and Fourteenth, and the implications of upcoming Supreme Court cases, particularly regarding birthright citizenship. Rosen shares insights from his extensive work in constitutional education and debate, highlighting the hunger for knowledge among citizens and the importance of understanding differing viewpoints in these contentious times.

We explore the historical context of executive power, comparing past administrations and their relationships with the Supreme Court. Rosen draws parallels between the current political landscape and historical figures like FDR and Andrew Jackson, prompting a discussion on whether President Trump embodies a populist spirit or a more authoritarian approach.

Rosen's optimism shines through as he recounts his experiences engaging with communities across America, emphasizing the enduring commitment to constitutional principles and the necessity of civil discourse. Join us as we unpack these vital topics and explore the hope for a united future grounded in the values of democracy and debate.
