What if citizens reviewed congressional bills before lawmakers voted? Sam Bushman, Sheriff Richard Mack, and Sunny Reid Jr. from Florida explore a proposed citizens' panel that would examine legislation for constitutional authority and publish its findings.
The discussion covers starting with one bill, building a pilot panel, involving constitutional experts, and creating a consistent review process. It’s a practical conversation about constitutional accountability, transparency, and turning an idea into citizen-led action.
