"28th Amendment"

Written by  Scott LaMar, Director of Radio Smart Talk

Would you, for instance:

  • Outlaw desecrating the flag?
  • Declare equal rights on the basis of gender?
  • Limit the terms of office for lawmakers?
  • Require a balanced budget?
  • Incorporate prayer in public schools?


These are just a few of the many ideas floated by citizens, from time to time, for a 28th Amendment. What might be important enough to you to rise to the level of a Constitutional Amendment? Share your thoughts below.

Then join us Monday, when we'll take your suggestions on the air. Political Science Professor Dr. Harry Pohlman from Dickinson College, and Associate Professor of Law Wesley Oliver of Widener University, who both specialize in Constitutional law, will join us to talk about some of the issues and ideas some regularly seek to have addressed in the form of a Constitutional Amendment.

Guests:

Dr. Harry Pohlman, Professor of Political Science, A. Lee Fritschler Professor of Public Policy, Executive Director, Clarke Forum for Contemporary Issues, Dickinson College; specializes in American constitutional law; recently published an undergraduate constitutional law textbook.


Wesley Oliver, Associate Professor of Law, Widener University. He teaches Constitutional law at Widener.
