Intelligent Discussion

Intelligent, interesting & important discussion on Constitutional matters. Every US citizen should listen to The Constitution Center podcasts, etc.
Democracy, Populism, Tyranny
11/29/2023
Todays episode was by far the worst in memory. This show is usually informative and balanced. Today’s show was nothing but one meme and bumper sticker against Trump after another. No mention was made of the Obama-era scandals of political spying at the FISA courts, the current weaponization of DOJ against the leading presidential candidate (which the panelist promote indirectly), and unmentioned BLM riots, which the left accepted as almost the only exception to Covid restrictions. The young panelists conflate complaining of or alleging fraud with “tyranny”—yet they have selective amnesia about Stacy Abrams alleging the same thing, and how about Hillary saying that Russia put Trump in office, making him “illegitimate” because “he knows he lost.” Today’s show was Sesame Street talks partisan politics. I hope that today’s departure from reality will be an anomaly.
Frustrated but love the show overall

I listened to your FDR/Supreme Court episode. It was fine…if it was a seminar at the Brookings Institution on how to justify packing today’s court and messaging the public against Originalist interpretation. It was unfit for the Constitution Center. We need institutions like you to actually present the best of both sides. Ken (?) is a talented historian who has written about conservatives. He is not a conservative. It was poor judgment to not enrich this conversation with ideological diversity. It rated it a 4 only because I respect the CC. It was a poorly organized panel. Thanks.
Guardrails of Our Democracy

If only the 360 discussions found in each topic’s discussion could be required of all media. Imagine a populace engaged in first discriminating thought, and freed from the sensationalistic, click baiting silo they have been assigned; silos where we find ourselves entangled, without even realizing it.
Fascinating and valuable

These are always such interesting discussions! I can usually understand the arguments put forth, and I feel smarter for listening to the various arguments. Valuable civics lessons!
Serious Depth on Important Conversations

It’s hard to overstate just how valuable these resources are from the National Constitution Center. You get actual meaningful discussion about real topics, from intelligent scholars and writers. I love this show and the We the People show.
Loved it.

Good to listen to actual discussions.
Information Without Being Told What To Think
11/08/2020
Non-partisan educational conservations about issues at the interface of constitutional law and politics. When I listen to a podcast while walking, this is often my first choice. Barely notice how far I've gone while listening. Listen to some twice, If you want information without be told what to think, this is the place to go.
Trump at Constitution Center
09/15/2020
Jeff Disappointing that you allow a President who denigrates everything that the US Constitution represents to use our facility. I know you can’t refuse his attendance but given what you said about Plato and the young ruler and how a person turns into a dictator the fact that you may attend the town meeting is inconsistent with the lesson that you tried to communicate with Plato and Aristotle. Shame.
