Garrett Epps

Garrett Epps, a journalist and legal scholar based at the University of Baltimore, tackles what he calls the most prevalent myths about the U.S. Constitution advanced by Fox News, radio hosts, conservative think tanks and so-called tea party patriots and the politicians who pander to them. Epps, a frequent contributor to The Atlantic, describes how this misinformation is playing out on the campaign trail and suggests ways of countering right-wing myth-making about the law of the land.
