22. Pennsylvania has a what??
Ken’s guest is a virtual unknown: The Pennsylvania Constitution. What powers possessed by We The People are lurking within? What powers have those sneaky politicians illegally assumed for themselves?

The listener-submitted questions touch on the questionable Deana’s Law, and the question of a co-host.
