Also CSPAN has a program America and the Courts which is educational.

But what is needed is for people to take an interest and read about the Constitution and the major cases that shape/define/demonstrate the Supreme Court's interpretive methods. The old adage seems to fit -you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.


I do agree about schools not teaching nearly enough about the Constitution. Maybe there is just too much politics involved in teaching certain specific decisions (such as the Supreme Court upholding corporate personhood while blacks were denied equal protection -though the 14th was written for their benefit), but at least schools could teach more about the basic outlines and maybe some cases that would not be veiwed as taking sides politically speaking.
