For starters the Founders established a republic and not a democracy. Not sure how someone who “teaches the Constitution” could get that one wrong.

The leftists’ god from Kenya (until he needed to run for president) is a self-proclaimed “Constitutional Law Professor” and gets EVERYTHING wrong.

The Republic as you surely define it was repealed with the ratification of the 17th Amendment, We became a Democracy at that point. It has taken a long time for that to play out but we did pass quickly through that phase to the current system which is a limited but rapidly expanding Dictatorship.

The 17th amendment took care of that.

True,and it is these same people who also do not understand that the first amendment was directed to the congress of the united states and not the states.
