Midterm winners and losers and why ‘giddy’ White House should worry

The last two years have seen frontal assaults on constitutional values ranging from separation of powers to free speech. Democrats applauded, for example, as President Joe Biden unilaterally waived roughly $500 billion in loans owed to the American people. While courts repeatedly found Biden to have violated the Constitution, Congress remained conspicuously silent even as it joined the president in declaring Republicans threats to the Constitution.

In an August New York Times column, The Constitution Is Broken and Should Not Be Reclaimed, law professors Ryan D. Doerfler of Harvard and Samuel Moyn of Yale called for our founding charter to be radically altered to reclaim America from constitutionalism. It s safe to say voters effectively reclaimed constitutionalism from such extremist voices.

I would bet that if you held an anonymous poll among tenured and tenure-track constitutional law professors in the US on the question of whether the Constitution should be scrapped and a new document adopted (perhaps by a vote of constitutional law professors), that resolution would pass handily. And that tells you about all you need to know about that.
