Political parties and the media focus almost exclusively on elections as the source of the nation’s governing “mandate.” Why, then, don’t elections make more difference in the policies and activities of our government? What is Levinson’s take on the November 2 election results? <br><br>Based on Levinson’s understanding of the Supreme Court, a primary focus of his scholarship , how does he view the recent Citizen’s United decision? What will it take to reverse it? What Supreme Court reforms does Levinson advocate?<br> <br>Sanford Levinson is a faculty member of The University Texas School of Law, Austin, Texas.<br><br>Cambridge Forum is recorded and edited for public radio broadcast.
