I think we do. I've heard/seen outstanding work on constitutional law and political science that would be on par with what we saw in the beginning. The problem that I see is that the people in politics these days are less willing to compromise and have too much loyalty to their party. We have the minds available to us, we just need them to have an open, logical, honest discussion.
