Lessig in Medium: Rules for a constitutional crisis

January 30, 2017 by Michael Boyle

Lawrence Lessig will always be a hero to digital natives young and old, and even when he has moved to other things (the pervasive corruption of money in politics, among others), he can be counted on for wise words.

Today in Medium he wrote the following:

He has no understanding of his place in the constitutional order. His White House has run amuck, issuing diktats without advice from either the State Department or the Department of Justice. He has no discipline. He has no understanding. And he feels himself constrained by nothing—save the pathologically thin skin that controls him as meth controls an addict. He is constitutionally compromised, and unqualified to be President.

The whole piece is worth a read.
