Three Views of the Carnival

David Pozen

Jedediah Britton-Purdy and I have just published an essay in the Boston Review that might be of interest to some readers of this blog. The essay tries to identify and make sense of the three main competing accounts of the second Trump administration and the current political moment, which we describe as “authoritarian crisis,” “more of the same,” and “constitutional regime change.” Along the way, we touch on some familiar Balkinization themes, including constitutional crisis, constitutional rot, and constitutional moments. There is no paywall.
