Transcript

Representative Jamie Raskin leads a conversation about protecting our constitutional democracy during the era of Trump and the coronavirus pandemic. Raskin’s recent Reopen America Act of 2020 laid out a common-sense, health-based alternative to the president’s chaotic calls to restart the economy. Raskin spent a quarter-century as a law professor prior to his election to Congress in 2016 and earned national recognition for his ruminations on the Constitution’s system of checks and balances.
