HILF: History I'd Like to F**k

HILF 65 - The Constitution with AJ Jacobs

Episode Summary

To some our constitution is akin to the Bible, a sanctified document technically written on parchment, but civically carved in stone. To others it is a grammatically-incorrect and culturally-incomplete idea that requires continuous interpretation and alteration. To Dawn's guest - NY Times best-selling author, AJ Jacobs - it was his guidebook for a full year. Join them as they discuss his book, "The Year of Living Constitutionally", all he learned, and where we go from here.

Episode Notes

AJ Jacobs is a writer and humorist known for his immersive dedication to a variety of subjects.  He spent a year attempting to follow EVERY rule in the Bible and wrote a NY TIMES best-seller, The Year of Living Biblically; and his latest book The Year of Living Constitutionally follows his journey through the lens of the 18th century.  

Join Dawn and AJ as they discuss what in the constitution they think is worth keeping, what could use some changes - and why 'cherry picking' isn't such a bad concept after all...
