Laurence Tribe: It's not over. The resistance is about to ignite
Unlike the sudden slide into authoritarianism seen in other countries,
the United States benefits from a decentralized government that can
serve as a strong counterweight to Trump's authoritarian ambitions.
It's within this space -- the system of checks and balances -- that
the resistance will emerge, argues Harvard's Professor Laurence Tribe,
one of the foremost constitutional law experts in the country. The
Constitution is not just a "remarkable piece of prose," says Tribe,
and he underscores the prominent role that state legislatures will
play in resisting Trump. Civil society, like journalists and
educators, will also play a crucial role in creating a cultural-
political resistance to any attempts to erase democratic norms. "It's
not over," says Tribe. "We are about to see all of the institutions
activated in a way that we haven't had to see before." The law is "an
area where reality bites," says Tribe.
