X-WR-CALDESC:Join us for a conversation with Yale Law School Professor Jack
  Balkin regarding his new book\, The Cycles of Constitutional Time.  In hi
 s book\, Professor Balkin explains how America’s constitutional system cha

 litical regimes with dominant political parties\, (2) the waxing and wanin

  in the life of our democracy directly impact how federal courts work and 
 interpret the Constitution over time.  Professor Balkin also argues that “
 constitutional rot”\, or the process through which our republic becomes le
 ss representative and less devoted to the common good\, is the significant
  threat to American democracy today.  He offers hope as well that\, like t
 he cycles of decay and renewal before\, America can weather the present st
