Downstream with Chris Buskirk | Politics | Movies | Sports | Music

The Progressive project has ever been to replace the written constitution with rule by self-proclaimed experts.  The American Right has resisted this believing that the only legitimate basis for government is the consent of the governed and that the will of the people acting their constitutional majority must be respected. While imperfect it is the natural right of people to rule themselves and they are more likely to come to better decisions than an unaccountable elite. Unfortunately, the Tory wing of the American Right has bought into the Progressive notion and has acted in concert with the Left to empower an unaccountable bureaucracy with lawmaking power not contemplated by the Constitution.  Julie Ponzi joins me to offer a full throated defense of the rights and prerogatives of the sovereign people.
