Episode Synopsis

This week, Joe sits down with Stan Garnett, Co-Founding Partner with Garnett, Powell, Maximon, Barlow & Farbes, to explore a provocative question: Is the U.S. Constitution truly democratic, or does it deepen the divisions in American life?
Stan argues that while the Constitution is foundational, it often fuels partisanship rather than unity and compromise. We examine how its structure influences our political climate and what lessons we can draw from Latin American legal systems that have adopted a different approach.
