This weekend on Amicus: A Law Review, Jim Santelle dives into the turbulent news of American civics and constitutional integrity. At the Supreme Court, Justice Sonia Sotomayor decries the decline in civics education, warning of confusion between presidents and kings, while Trump proposes alarming expansions of presidential powers, including targeting 'narco-terrorists.'

Plus, the administration's crackdown on dissent riles philanthropies and media alike, with US Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and others pushing back. Amidst this, the US Department of Justice faces scrutiny for misrepresentations in court and retaliatory firings of FBI agents. As legal battles rage, federal judges stand as bulwarks against the erosion of constitutional norms.
