20250211 Knowledge is Power with Tom Schaller -Nicole Sandler Show

It’s been a long time since my 8th grade civics class. I did learn a lot from Mr. Patton back then, but I haven’t brushed up on much of what I learned then since. But we’re being told a lot of stuff about our government, and the newly empowered administration is doing a lot of things that appear to be not only counter to what I learned, but also unconstitutional. Speaking of the constitution, we hear we’re either approaching a constitutional crisis or we’re smack dab in the middle of one. But do we really know what a constitutional crisis is. And how do we deal with one when it happens?Tom Schalleris a political science professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I first met & interviewed him years ago when he was a political columnist for the Baltimore Sun. We also spoke about some of his books including his latest,WHITE RURAL RAGE: THE THREAT TO AMERICAN DEMOCRACY.I couldn’t think of a better guest to invite on to help us get back to basics so we can understand what’s happening in and to our country today as we attempt to make sense of the nonsensical.We’ll start with some of the latest news, then get some important knowledge from Dr. Schaller.
