- University of Austin Dean of the Center for Economics, Politics, & History Morgan Marietta and University of Texas at Austin William Stamps Farish Professor in Law Richard Albert debate whether the United States Constitution is broken or not at the launch of the Austin Union at UATX.
As a 40 year old man who dropped out of college due to what appeared to be the imbecillic state of the faculty. I would have been proud to go to this university as I think it is collecting quality faculty. As is proof by this conversation.
Keep up the good work and this gives me hope for the future of the country.
When you rapidly change the demographics of a country, the new people do not respect the heritage as much as founding stock. The great replacement is real.
“Broken” is what they say when they just violate/ignore it. It’s like when they call immigration law “broken.”
Right!! It's the law of the land and THEY'RE breaking it!
100%
So...Change requires 'the settled will of the people'.
This is an excellent start , I expect many great things from this institution !
That was an excellent and scholarly debate. It’s too bad that the people in Congress can’t talk to each other like these two gentlemen did. We’d have a lot fewer problems.
what the founding fathers never predicted and would be shocked to learn is the lack of participation by the people. he keeps saying the people but the people have chosen in masses not to participate in government or voting. as such it is better left alone than to allow the people in power or those that seek it to make changes affecting the rest of us.
People? We the people, according to the constitution, are land owning men.
This is the issue, we thought we knew better. Turns out people will vote against liberty when they have no real stake in things besides muh rights.
@@henrywolf5332 people arent voting. thats the problem. this is why politics have become what they are. its why the most money spent in a campaign will likely win, its why we have a bs 2-party only system, its why we have slimy politicians instead of the most well respected and wisest of society. its why there is pandering over minorities while keeping them right where they are. its why politicians are corrupt, etc....
the system was only meant to work if the people voting werent clueless but were actually paying attention to world affairs. ignorant people voting that can be swayed by letting their emotions get manipulated should not be involved in politics. there absolutely should be a test or questionnaire about the issues and a person should have to prove they arent voting because of some propaganda they saw on television

Enjoyed this. Intelligent respectful debate is what we need. It’s how we grow/ learn.You will never learn anything new by only listening to people you agree with
I look forward to listening to more conversations.
Especially if one ever covers why the Oath of office is not enforced
The constitution is suverted, Not broken. Outstanding
Proud to say I watched the very first debate of this new yet proud university. Here’s to many more
To amend the Constitution requires agreement. If there is no agreement it can’t be amended. I would say that’s a fairly excellent safety feature. Unity first, then amend. Until the USA strives for unity again and stops divisive identity politics, the Constitution will wait, protected. I agree that it has been hijacked by the lawyers, however. In the USA the Supreme Court is supreme. In the UK it is (or should be) Parliament - there wasn’t even a Supreme Court until Tony Bliar. That’s why (excepting Spider Woman and the prorogation malarkey) the UK does not have rampant ‘lawfare’… yet.
Very interesting to watch this as a young german. It gives me hope seeing that this University is indeed different and up to the task it set itself.
Very interesting and informative.
Why is Richard acting like he's an actor in a play? He's really theatrical, lol. Does anyone else notice that, or is it just me?
Nothing wrong w the Constitution, just w the people who keep circumventing it!!!
Very good
The declaration of Independence and the flag are both higher then the us constitution, but together they are the supreme law. Can't have one without the others. The us constitution isn't failing, we're failing ourselves, we have a student body government that teaches us how to found and establish a government -- which is the same for starting a corporation or an organization or a reading club or an investors clubs or even a kingdom - if you study you'll figure it out.
This is why we need history and civics should be in all education levels. Youth are not educated to understand the constitution, history to become critical thinking
dude that article 5 answer by the guy on the right was brilliant. thats how we get rid of the deep state!!
It's not broken, it's deliberately misunderstood to force change.
Really interesting. As John Marshall said “it is a Constitution we are expounding”. It is a foundational document. It is not a statue. It is meant to last from one generation to the next. It is by the people but it is for the people. As further stated in the preamble, it is to secure the blessings not only of the people of the time but also their posterity. As an example, imagine what might carry the day today with respect to freedom of speech, or freedom of religion. I agree that we are not in a position now to successfully amend those as there is a fashion now against them - I’d argue because of the new shiny toy of social media and the current misuse there is of it. I would hate to see such important rights potentially amended, like in Scotland, to protect against “hate speech”, for example, and to freeze that mistake in place and insecure the blessings of liberty not only as respects ourselves but also as respects our posterity.
Why do they both speak with the cadence of Christopher Walken? It's so cheesy lol
I didn't ascribe their speaking styles as being reminiscent of Walken but it's certainly affected in both men. I'm going have to work at finishing this.
Nope unbroken the interpretors are broken by it they call it hope & change WOKE. 🤮
It's not broken. Ever!
Listening to this is like listening to two AI's impersonating Christopher Walken.
Process >> outcome? Albert misses the point of the enterprise. In his radicalism I hear the echos of the Jacobins. Not surprising given his fealty to Jefferson, who but for the temperance of Washington would have torn this country apart in a quest for utopia.
One dictator end of all constitutions
24:47 this is one of Jefferson’s worst ideas. If it was implemented, what is now America would be split into atleast 10 different countries by now
1 in 31 Americans is in prison. This isn't right
The Constitution is a living, changing entity.Propose an amendment and get it ratified. That way it doesn’t fall prey to the radical opinion di’ jour. Otherwise find a country with a constitution you like better instead of trying to cancel ours
my friend they have no brains or heart for what it has taken to build freedom, for close to the last 1000 years . the kids need to be guided not told how/ what to think.... for the American people can only make the right choice if fully informed of the truth. politics is to destructive to hold any worth while out comes. its a republic if we can keep it and that's the very thing they wish to destroy.
This UT Law School professor is much too full of himself. He acts as if he feels he is more intelligent than our Founding Fathers.
