Constitutional Crisis in American Law Schools

[DGS49]

Why I'm worried as a conservative about America's future under the Constitution

Law students increasingly display open contempt for freedom of speech by shouting down conservative speakers

This is a good article, pointing out a serious problem with the education of tomorrow's lawyers, but the stark reality is that these law schools are not even teaching the facts that should be clarified in every HS Civics classroom...

• Congressional power is LIMITED (see the 10th Amendment),
• The Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary are co-equal branches of government,
• Most governing power lies with the States,
• The First Amendment DOES NOT create a "wall of separation" between Church & State,
• and so on.

• Congressional power is LIMITED (see the 10th Amendment),

Conservatives overstate the scope of the 10th Anendment. Only radical Conservatives consider it absolute

• The Executive, Legislative, and Judiciary are co-equal branches of government,

In terms of Checks and Balances …Yes
In terms of overall power…No

• Most governing power lies with the States,

By necessity, Yes
Most of our day to day living is controlled by the states
Supremacy Clause gives Federal power over states

• The First Amendment DOES NOT create a "wall of separation" between Church & State,

For most purposes, the State stays out of church business and the church stays out of state business
