Norms in politics have gone unchecked - do we need more rules?

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

There are many precedents in politics that aren’t necessarily based on law but on norms, like the fact that there isn’t an age restriction for politicians and that Supreme Court justices serve for life. What are some of the other norms in politics that we’ve accepted to be true? Do politicians have too much power when these norms aren’t regulated? Dr. Ben Berger is an associate professor of political science at Swarthmore College. He explains how a lack of shame has affected our current political environment, and tells us the rules he thinks could give politicians an equal opportunity.
