words penned by Emma Lazarus in 1883: Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Protecting freedom America's is everyone's job. We are being pushed into conflicts with our neighbors. The law is not going to protect us this time Lawrence. Unless we all are willing to sacrifice to help challenge the American oligarchs.

Could you outline a guide for dismantling an oligarchy that doesn’t include a people’s revolution or a takeover by another stronger alliance of countries?
Yeah, I've been waiting for this from the "just vote!" crowd since the Reagan administration. It's not coming. The electoral process has been compromised and needs to be dismantled and rebuilt.
The U.S. govt under a Democratic president just proved beyond a shadow of doubt the Constitution is meaningless, Justice is a fairytale, the DOJ is a strong arm for oligarchs, the FBI, DHS, & SS are terrorists and the people are disposable pawns in their sick games.
That’s the reality. THE END
Out of all the “isms“ the only one I fear is absolutism. if one is incapable of saying “I don’t know“ they’re also incapable of learning. This stubborn adherence to dogma poses an open ended threat to democracy. religion and politics are just two ways in which this manifests itself.
You are PRICELESS in these times Lawrence. Please put out a book of BASIC constitutional law so we can follow along, and so all the buffoons who get their nepo cabinet posts can learn how its supposed to work.
Professor Tribe knows the law, in intimate detail and complete authority. No one can refute that fact. He is a legal scholar in every sense of the word.
Laurence, I remember you announcing that you were going to join other legal scholars to form some kind a resistance against felontrump in his first term , but all we heard from you after that was crickets. And here you are again.
I’m certain it is a very worthy tome but is it still relevant in a time when the liberty seems to only side with those of a certain political and economic standing? Women are losing autonomy over their own bodies, men are gaining control over them: not free, not fair.
My copy was all red and I do not recall any artwork on the cover. Gold letters i think. Maybe the version used by law students was different. Maybe a later edition, acquired and signed by the author on 1977 or 1978z
It wasn’t apathy. It was rage. I spoke to 100s of voters who refused to vote. They saw it, I was blind. Democracy was sacrificed on a Catholic altar of norms, procedures, and capitalism. Biden tried to buy voters with jobs rather than protect Justice & Laws.
Accountability was never on the table.
Wrong. Biden truly believes in building the working class & how that builds a nation of happy people who in turn believe in their government & want to preserve democracy.Sadly, lies & hate are stronger than a good paycheck. Biden didn’t count on the ingrates in America.
Guess it is where you live or who you talked to native Hawaiians don't vote because either they don't believe it will make a difference or they hate America for the illegal overthrow and occupation. I get it, but you can't get out of a system if you don't participate in the system.
Nostalgia - revisiting one of the greatest contributions to every law-school and law-student in the country - also a huge asset for judges, law-professors and historians - even of substantial interest for lay-persons and auto-didacts. A significant historical achievement among so many others.

Still have the Barnes&Noble receipt inside, $45 in 1994!

You’ve been training them for 50 years- why are most criminals?
That’s the reality. THE END
I will remain heartbroken until my last breath.
We exist in the post-law dystopian hellscape your "Living Constitution" inevitably precipitated.
Lady Liberty has contracted sepsis and is bleeding out in the van ...
but all you can do is p1mp out your worthless book.
For Larry Legend, it's all about $$$.

Or the US Constitution is just a poem....
Accountability was never on the table.
