Amending the Constitution with Russ Feingold

Sharon sits down with former Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold to examine how the Constitution could be changed, and whether a Constitutional Convention could fix our democracy or fatally undermine it.

What would it take to update the Constitution and should we try? Sharon is joined by former Wisconsin Senator Russ Feingold to explore this question from his book, The Constitution in Jeopardy. Together, they unpack the tools the framers gave to evolve the founding document, including the never before used, and deeply controversial, Constitutional Convention. Could such a convention be a path to necessary reform, or a backdoor to dismantling democracy itself?
