- Title
The Real Enemies of Democracy.
- Authors
Baude, William
- Abstract
Professor Karlan argues that the Constitution is undemocratic and that the Supreme Court is not helping matters. There is some truth to those claims, but I would urge some perspective. It is not the Supreme Court’s job to fix imperfections in our Constitution. And more importantly, democracy faces far worse enemies, namely those who resist the peaceful transfer of power or subvert the hardwired law of succession in office. So we destabilize our current imperfect arrangements at our own peril.
