state constitutions are amended all the time, but compared to other national constitutions, the united states constitution, it is the least amended constitution and the most difficult to amend. and it's a problem for american political life and public life because constitutional amendments, it is hard, but the process itself is really useful for an electorate, for a polity to discuss. like are there changes in our fundamental law that we should be arguing over right now? should we be having, you know, town meetings, city meetings, statewide deliberations about these things? that process is no longer in place, and it's part a kind of civic decay. - well, you mentioned the equal rights amendment, and you spend a considerable amount of ink on phyllis schlafly in your book, "these truths." you call her a political genius and credit her with more or less single-handedly defeating the era, the equal rights amendment. listen to phyllis schlafly with william f. buckley jr. on the original "firing line" in 1973. - the proposed constitutional amendment, passed overwhelmingly by the senate and th

political nation play here, or does it play any role at all , directly because the political nation the constitution is an inseparable thing, a one-year-old nation is formed in the era of modernity, the era of modernity. modern, that is, modernity came to our territory very late . well, it formally began even when nustraialization was all that, but it was a one-sided modernization for which the ukrainian people paid a terrible price , the famine, modernization, spiritual, mental modernization uh, constitutional, cultural, it actually started as soon as we got independence. it was basically our chance. because the empire never lets anyone in voluntarily, they always ask their terrible price, because every country that became independent eventually went through a war of independence, starting with the first such revolution and then the american war of independence and every time in history even then when the empire let someone go voluntarily for nothing, for example, india, for example , israel, but still the war for independence began because the neighbors did not let a and e , in fact, this price ca

a strategy derived from our constitutional principles and reflecting the montesquieu philosophy of moderation and a right of nations. but now the remaining time to turn more particularly to modesty. i suggest that you should want evidence from me. where is this? in the constitution of founding. now, shouldn't you want some evidence for me about montesquieu as the source of these american views. some evidence for. my claim that the constitution's framers and and washington as the strategist statesmen who developed the basic template of american grand strategy in these foundations that they were not making it up. evidence that they were following the basic philosophy, the basic teachings about war and peace advocated by the french enlightenment philosopher, montesquieu montesquieu was the central figure of what scholars now call the moderate enlightenment. and as dr. morrison, he was the single most important for the framing of and ratification debates about the 1787 constitution because of the influence his great 1780 1748 work the spirit of laws. but as noted, we mostly have forgotten that montesquieu also was thro

in fact, this mission ruling may be due to the talent of the nation's rights in the third chapter of the constitution, and it is supposed that despite the existence of legal positions that exist for the implementation of our constitution is supposed to be structurally, and this position is actually the pursuit of the rights of the iranian nation in domestic and international forums, which may be different from some specialized positions, for example, in relation to a position in the previous governments as a position there was an assistant for civil rights and he was only in charge of internal rights. this difference was created due to the transformational view of the head of the 13th government and the missions that were stated in the decree, which is actually the most unprecedented hacking during the islamic republic because the missions in it has been approved and the description of duties in the decree, in fact , these missions are all the armed rights of the nation in the constitution. what is the core of its relationship with the presidential legal vice president? the position of assistant to t

he is the founder and chairman of the national constitutional law union. and he has represented, actually, 35 january 6th defendants, in addition to kenneth thomas. so, john, thanks for being here. first, i just want to start with this. he is awaiting sentencing, your client here. why would a judge give him permission to attend the festival, that is essentially celebrating the thing he was convicted for? >> well, i would take issue with the idea that this is celebrating the things that he was convicted for. and i actually take some issue with the language in some of you are lead up about folks storming the capitol. january 6th was a very complex event, there were a lot of people who engaged in various kinds of conduct. mr. thomas, kenneth joseph thomas, was found not guilty of engaging in violence on the capitol grounds. >> well, he was found guilty of assaulting a police officer. >> so, the statute that you are referring to actually contains multiple kinds of conduct, that can be the basis for liability under it. so, you could have a typical kind of assau

not only is our constitution the oldest national constitution in the world of any country, but we have and we've done that 27 times. we have the right to free speech because of the constitution. we no longer have slavery because of the constitution. we no longer have to pay a tax in order to vote because of the constitution. and women and people over 18 have voting rights because of the constitution. the better a society is educated in civics, the better they can dictate a government that is supposed to, by design, represent their interests. i think one of the biggest threats to our democracy is ignorance. not just not voting, but not understanding why we should even vote in the first place. my hope for civics education in the future is that every state requires at least three years of it. you have to take some sort of exam to show proficiency in order to graduate, and that we make civics a part of our everyday lives from a cultural sense. what gives me hope is seeing younger generations step up and participate in a way that i don't think recent generations have, and it really inspires

service members signed up to put their lives on the line for our freedoms, our national values, our constitutional rights, they did not sign up to put their lives on the line or their spouse's lives on the line because they could not get access to basic care. i was an officer in the navy. what i learned is that good leaders protect their squadron. they don't abandon them in favor of their own politics or agenda. how am i supposed to recommend to young girls in my district that they should attend a service academy like i did when we know this amendment would mean they would be signing away their right to basic health care? this makes our service women pawns in their extreme agenda and is a steppingstone to larger bans, restrictions, and wholesale disregard with women's health care in america. and with that, madam speaker, i yield one minute to my good friend and a tireless champion for service women, the gentlelady from pennsylvania. the chair: the gentlewoman is recognized. >> thank you, representative sherrill. and i rise today also in opposition to this harmful and dangerous amendment, a back do

constitution might avoid the problems today. it might lay out the roles of each branch of government, define their powers and duties like most civilized nationsn countries that have constitutions. why doesn't israel have one? if you write a constitution today, the first line would probably have to say something like, all people are equal in front of the log regardless of race, religion, or anything like that and israel doesn't want to write that down. why not? because of palestinians in the west bank and gaza. the refusal to write down that everyone has equal rights is now leading to this crisis they are having. i called it an apartheid game of thrones. people are protesting in the streets to save democracy, but only for jews, and people on the right wing are hoping to take the land from the palestinians and turn them into refugees or some kind of third class citizen. the lack of a constitution is leading to these problems and it is about palestinians at the end of the day because they don't want to give us equal rights. >> greece is battling one of the worst wildfire season's in recent years. it has been driven by extreme across the mediterr
