Reflections on the Constitution

I spent part of the morning watching ABC's "This Week with Christiane Amanpour." Extended discussions of the constitution and immigration were pleasant if less than filling. Opportunities were missed right and left, though it wasn't the disaster that most often occurs on sunday morning. They are topics that deserves attention, if not exactly the attention it was given. Points were made and missed. George Will argued both sides of his mind. Little perspective was given, though attempted. It largely comes down to the essential problem of network television: time. It is a three month conversation attempting to be done in 15 to 30 minute segments. I am recommending James MacGregor Burns' newest book Packing the Court.
