"The Constitution requires us to all follow the rule of law. Public opinion and the demands of history ultimately will be the most important and most effective remedy" if the president defies court orders, @mawaldman.bsky.social told @npr.org's Morning Edition today.

“From my early days as a teacher participating in a We the People summer institute, I have seen the transformative power of #civiceducation through the Center’s programs.”
