YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThis is an excerpt from a Members Only episode #314 of the Fifth Column. Watch the full episode only on Substack
Sarah Isgur argues that the real constitutional crisis is not the Supreme Court, but a Congress that has forgotten how to legislate. In this clip, she explains why the Court was designed to lag behind public opinion, how the presidency absorbed powers Congress gave away, and why government by executive order keeps failing. It is a sharp, funny, and surprisingly clear case that America’s biggest problem is not nine justices, but a political system that no longer wants to do the hard work of governing.
