Lessig, Friedman and the broken Congress
Lawrence Lessig’s new article in the Nation offers some strong criticism of Barack Obama, a bit too harsh in my opinion. But the point of the article is an idea that seems to be growing into a consensus; Congress is broken. Tom Friedman’s articles have also recently discussed how our democracy is not giving us the best solutions to our problems. Lessig is calling for a constitutional convention/amendment. Could it happen?
