FAREED OXFORD CONTD II

21 minutes in, he lets slip an actual insight, the founding fathers would be surprised by the power of the Presidency now. I will just point out that this is the weak kind of federal government which Fareed would also like the US to have, the government originally intended by the founders, a glorified confederation, one government dictated by a strict construction of the Constitution.


I have argued that they would also be shocked by the long increasing power of the Supreme Court, a separate issue, but related in very important ways to Fareed's observation about the Presidency also.
