A good read, though I find his recommended solutions too weak

He's phenominal at identifying the problems, and is doing his best to battle this out in the courts so we dont have to battle in the streets, but even though he knows the Constitution is essentially null and void (he writes about that often), still has that blind spot thinking we can fix things with Constitutional originalism.
"But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist."

My dad seems to think more that way as well, he has faith in the system. Perhaps it's generational. But later generations may find that more radical solutions are necessary. If it's not too late.
I know exactly what ya mean. My mom and step dad were for all intents and purposes libertarians, but both had that soft spot for the system as well. Hell, if I had to name who or what first 'radicalized' me, it would be them at a very early age. But they could just never take their ideals to their logical conclusion when one knows shit is fucked
