0:00.0 | All right, today we are going to have a very interesting conversation because we're going to, we've decided to make this a devil's advocate episode. |
0:08.3 | So here's what we're going to do. |
0:09.5 | We're going to ask the question, has the U.S. constitutional system failed? |
0:15.0 | Because more and more people are starting to ask the question, well, if the Constitution worked, then why hasn't it? |
