Constitutional Lawyer Exposes the Racist Roots of the US Constitution

Lawyer Andrew Seidel argues though the US Constitution is a very unique and special document, it is still tainted by slavery. Seidel suggests measures like abolishing the Senate or at least making it more representative of the entire population. ------------- America was never a Christian nation w/ Andrew Seidel (ep#53) “America will never be a Christian nation because the moment it becomes a Christian nation, it will cease to be America.” - Andrew Seidel As a Canadian living in Europe, my opinion on America has shifted in sentiment through the years from "America: Great" to "America: Bad" to "America: It's Complicated." I believe in the American experiment. Even as we've all watched a growing part of their population take a knee in loyalty to a literal con man. Most shockingly, the power structure creating Republican policy appears to be driven by Christian Nationalists. The Christian Nationalists have been building on a dangerous lie that leads to the end of American democracy. At least, that's the opinion of Andrew Seidel. Andrew documents the lie in his first book, The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism is Un-American. It's a brilliantly historical and evidence-based thesis on why America was NOT founded as a Christian nation Christian Nationalists believe they are "taking back" America to be run, essentially, as a theocracy. And any means to accomplish that is justified under their collective crusade. But Andrew and many Americans, despite a steady stream of death threats, refuse to go quietly into the political night. Andrew is a constitutional and civil rights attorney, activist, and author who has been defending the First Amendment in and out of court for over a decade. His second book, American Crusade, is about how the US Supreme Court is currently actively weaponizing religious freedom. Andrew is VP of Communication for Americans United, a not-for-profit organization for the separation of church and state - https://www.au.org/ For more info. on Andrew, his books and his amazing work can be found on his website: https://andrewlseidel.com/ I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
