Correcting Constitutional Chaos
Our Lost Constitution: The Willful Subversion of America’s Founding Document, by Senator Mike Lee, New York, New York: Sentinel/Penguin Publishing, 2016, 244 pages, paperback.
Mike Lee listened attentively to his father, then solicitor general of the United States under President Ronald Reagan, as he explained America’s “long-standing abortion debate.” When his father concluded the explanation, Mike had one question: “Shouldn’t this issue be addressed by the states rather than by the federal courts?”
Mike Lee was in the fourth grade at the time, and yet his understanding of the Constitution was already beyond what one will often hear in America’s law schools and from the federal bench. Lee’s father, Rex Lee, was very pleased at his son’s grasp of the constitutional principle of federalism.
