I have been recommending to anyone who will listen that they read Randy Barnett’s latest book, Our Republican Constitution: Securing The Liberty And Sovereignty Of We The People.
It makes the case that Americans have two views of The Constitution, one republican in nature and one based on the Ideology of Democracy [my words]. The former is aligned with the philosophy of The Founders and the latter is most definitely not.
I’m about two-thirds of the way through it and the book is essential to understanding the conflicting way we view our supreme law. Written in a non-scholarly voice, it provides us with needed ammunition in our War against the Leftists, who have been implementing a Revolution in America, and their Useful Idiots on the Right, who, in their quest for a place at the children’s table of Power, are not mounting any meaningful resistance the the fundamental transformation of this country into a Despotism [once again: my words].
Back in April, Professor Barnett spoke at the CATO Institute about his book and responded to criticisms offered by Leftist Professor Robert Percival. [Tip: Mr. Barnett’s response to Percival’s first set of remarks should be used as an example of how to respond to Leftist Drones and their drivel.]
