> Some Law School Deans are speaking up. A leader is Erwin Chemerinsky at the University of California Berkeley School of Law, who is networking with other Deans in standing tall and resolute. He wrote in the Washington Post that “… despite the risks of speaking out, silence itself comes at enormous cost. Giving in to a bully only makes things worse.”

Martin Pengelly: Erwin Chemerinsky on the need for a new US constitution: ‘Our democracy is at grave risk’: In his new book, the eminent law professor points to a source of growing disunion – the #constitution itself

"'I wrote the book to explain how much of the problem stems from the constitution and suggest how it can be fixed.'

In conversation, Chemerinsky patiently outlines the problem. It boils down to this: the US constitution is not fit for purpose.

It was created in 1787 by a small group of white men who hashed out a deal in their own interests, chief among them protecting smaller states and owners of enslaved people. Those framers made foundation stones of economic and racial inequality and also erected enduring barriers to political equality including an electoral college that makes minority victory possible in presidential elections and two senators for each state regardless of population."

Chemerinsky: 2022 contained a week that dramatically changed constitutional law

There are pivotal years in constitutional law: 1787, when the Constitution was ratified; 1791, when the Bill of Rights was adopted; 1868, when the Fourteenth Amendment was enacted; 1937, when the Supreme Court overturned 40 years of precedents that had limited the power of Congress and state legislatures to protect workers and consumers; 1969, when the liberal Warren Court ended, and the more conservative Burger Court began. And 2022 was such a decisive turning-point year.
