The Supreme Court's Past, Present, and Future: A Conversation with John Yoo
It has been a momentous few weeks for the Supreme Court. What better time to discuss the Court's history and future? We are therefore launching our "Summer of Law" series to shed light on the legal world .\nKicking the series off is\xa0John Yoo, the Heller Professor of Law at the University of California at Berkeley. He is also a Nonresident Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and a Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He has written 8 books and over 100 academic articles, and is a regular contributor at a wide variety of publications including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and National Review.\nThis episode discusses his latest book,\xa0The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Supreme Court\xa0(Regnery Publishing, 2023).\xa0Along the way, it unpacks legal thought on issues such as affirmative action, abortion, court-packing, the administrative state, and the unique position of the Supreme Court as an unelected institution.\nWe have not forgotten, however, that tomorrow is our nation's birthday. At the end of the discussion, our Thomas W. Smith Distinguished Research Scholar Allen Guelzo will recite Patrick Henry's famous speech "Give Me Liberty."\nWhile this episode covers the court more broadly, here are some of Prof. Yoo's recent writings and appearances on these hot-button issues:\n\nNewsweek, "Biden's Student Loan Forgiveness Was Always a Sham"\n\nNational Review, "The Supreme Court Corrects a Grievous Error"\n\nHis interview on Fox News, "Supreme Court says Congress, not the president, controls power of the purse"\n\nHis interview on Fox Business, "Employers should rethink race-based hiring, programs after SCOTUS affirmative action decision"\n\nHis interview on Fox News, "The Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution is colorblind"\n\nAnnika Nordquist\xa0is the Communications Coordinator of Princeton University\u2019s James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions and host of the Program\u2019s podcast,\xa0Madison\u2019s Notes.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
