The American Mind: John Eastman, “The Constitution Under Attack”

The Claremont Institute is a conservative think tank based in California.  Their stated mission is “to restore the principles of the American founding fathers to their rightful, preeminent authority in our national life”, and to return American political guidance to the vision held by the founders.  Toward that end, one of the Institute’s current projects is a series called “The American Mind”, in which today’s conservative thinkers are interviewed on video about Conservatism’s insights, ideas, and perspectives, both past and present.

In the video below (15-minutes), host Charles Kesler and law professor John Eastman discuss the ways in which the vision of the founders, as expressed in the Constitution, is being assaulted.
