Customer Reviews
A single dimension of the constitution
I am interested in constitutional law but am not a lawyer. I say that right away because I don't want to pretend to be something I am not.
This "society" apparently has no problem doing just that. They present their ideas not only as fact, but the only relevant facts on the issues discussed.
Omissions are glaring, as even I (again, a non-lawyer) wondered why they didn't cover that "angle" of the issue.
I simply found the interviews in these podcasts very one sided. They are missing an opportunity to add dimension to these issues and it is a shame.
Try the CATO podcasts. Although CATO doesn't ALWAYS balance the discussion, most of the time they do.
Maybe the ACS will see this review and change how they put together the podcast. I don't know how I will find out because I am dumping this thing. I don't want to be mean but it is a waste of my time.
