Richard C. Lyons – Democracy, the Supreme Court and Elections - Richard C. Lyons is back on the Break It Down Show with Pete A Turner to discuss our democracy. Far from a political party based conversation, Richard and Pete discuss how the system is supposed to work. 

Get Richard's book DNA of Democracy at https://amzn.to/36pqgfk

Among the topics discussed is the concept of legislating from the bench. Judges are supposed to interpret the law, not create it. Further, the inability of the legislators to pass relevant laws places undue strain on the populace as their needs go unmet by those tasked to write the legislation and pay the bills.
