A Monarch in the White House
Frank Buckley, professor of law at George Mason University, says that as power grows in the White House, the country is losing its hold on freedom. Buckley, author of The Once and Future King: The Rise of Crown Government in America, says, “We have evolved into a new kind of Constitution, and it’s a Constitution that resembles George III of England before the Revolution. And the Revolution was all about how we didn’t like that. But now we’ve evolved toward a regime in which power is increasingly held by one person–the president–and that makes him something like an elected monarch.” Check out more of Buckley’s views as he sits down with Reason TV’s Tracy Oppenheimer.
