Everything is on point, but also you realize nothing is going to change because those in power have a good gig going for themselves and they don't want to give that up.

So good. So compelling. It should all be very apparent how very flawed and totally broken our Constitution is, let alone how constitutional judgements are rendered. Mystal breaks down the amendments as they exist and how conservatives have warped them to further white supremacist gains. This should be required reading.

Elie Mystal plays the angry liberal, and I'm here for it. Far too often only conservatives are outspoken and bottle up rage - it is refreshing to see someone building fervor on the other side of the aisle.

A great reminder of who, when, and why the constitution was written. Let's not forget that interracial marriage was illegal in Virginia until 2000, and even then, 41% of voters said no.
