NYU Professor: Trump And Outdated Constitution Are Threats To Liberal Democracy In The U.S. lidblog.com/trump-outdated… via @yidwithlid
On Wednesday, Jay Rosen, a professor of journalism at NYU, issued a tweet linking to an article at NY Mag by Eric Levitz calling President Trump and the “outdated” Constitution “threats to liberal democracy in the United States.”
(Note: the term liberal democracy refers to a representative government. A republic is a form of liberal democracy)
More than a professor of Journalism, Rosen is a liberal media critic and writer who often writes for the Huffington Post.

So, what part of the Constitution is “outdated” and “archaic?” Is it the part that enumerates certain guaranteed freedoms? You know, like the right to free speech, or the right to keep and bear arms? We’re not really sure, because Levitz doesn’t really tell us.
And what would Levitz and Rosen want to replace the Constitution with? Maybe they’d like the Constitution of the former Soviet Union. Or perhaps they’d rather just have anarchy.
Let’s be clear. Trump and the Constitution do not present a threat to America. Radical left-wing professors who are teaching our kids are the ones who present a clear and present danger to our Democratic Republic.
