Constitutional Controversies

At Postmodern Conservative over the past week, Carl Eric Scott has offered a series of intriguing reflections on some possible outcomes for traditional constitutional norms over the short term.  He guesses at what could happen to existing constitutional arrangements under three circumstances: Republican victory, divided government, and Democratic dominance.  Whether you agree with them all or not, these remarks are well worth a read.  He hasn't yet posted his remarks on the third scenario, but here are the essays he has published in this sequence so far:

• Late-Republican Times: A Long-Term View
• Late-Republic Studies: Three Scenarios for the Short-Term 
• Marginal Republican Dominance
• The Divided Government Scenario
