us out of this mess you just described starting now, what would it be? >> it would be a few things. in the states that have been trying to open particularly the southerntates that got into trouble the first thing is you don't necessarily have to go back to a shutdown but you have to paz and maybe a backing up a bit. backing up for those not familiar with the guidelines, the guidelines for reopening starting with a gateway. look at where you are and have decreases in cases over a period of time, 14 days, you go to the next step which is phase i, then go to phase 2 etc.. some of the states have essentially skipped over some of those check points. my advice would be timeout and go back to a prior check point and tried to proceed in a measured, prudent way. if we do that i think we can control the surging in those states. please look at the example of what happens when you open in a way that might be too quickly. as you are opening everybody should be trying to reopen america again but do it in a way that is in accordance with the guideline. finally, there were certain fundamentals that we should be doing almost universally and that is universal wearing o

second thing is that lincoln believes that by confining slavery to the southern states, slavery will turn out to be a system which uses up its own oxygen. that that kind of agriculture that slavery represents like tobacco did in the 18th century, where out the soil and economy and become an economical at the moment that happens then slavery will come to an event. but it will do it on its own. no one needs to behave like harrison abolitionist. nobody needs to push hard on the slave states and alienate and anger them. it's simply a process, we are just going to let this process unfold. so he is anti slavery, but he doesn't feel any need to take active measures. because he believes, it is inevitable, it is going to die out on its own. it is a system doomed by its own logic. via it's going to fade away. that is no longer a tenable notion after the kansas nebraska act. the act, by opening up the vast stretches or of the louisiana purchase the possibility of legalized slavery, suddenly that was like a blinding flash of light. suddenly slavery was no longer confined to the southern states, no longer going to fix the aid on i

certainly in those sun belt and southern states where we're seeing these dramatic rises in cases, hospitalizations and fatalities, nicolle. >> you know, jonathan, i have stopped using this expression that i think accurately described everything in this point of the trump administration split screen reality to say that trump is not focused on the dire projection outlined by dr. redleter, would be an understatement. let me play what we should expect, they got a crane and color-coded pickup trucks out there, hard to explain how much effort that takes they have time on their hands. >> so we have many exciting things that we'll be announcing over t eight weeks, i would say, things that nobody has even contemplated thought about, thought possible, and things that we're going to get done and we have gotten done, we started in most cases, we're talking on so many aspects of things but you'll see levels of detail and you'll see levels of thought that a lot of people believed very strongly that we didn't have in this country, we're going to get things done. we'll get things done they wanted to see done for a long, long time. i think we'll start some time on tuesday. >> i don

states that are higher than us. we've seen some activity at the beaches. we are seeing people come up from some of these -- southern states. it was happening from new york in new jersey when they were hot, now we are seeing southern states come up. but, you cannot close your borders. we are keeping an eye though. we have travel advisories. if they do, they should get tested and watch their symptoms and try to self quarantine. >> obviously, you cannot put limitations for people traveling from other states. is that more difficult to do in maryland? >> i think it's much more difficult for anybody to enforce. it's not as big of an issue for us yet, but we are keeping an eye on that and certainly putting out advisories and warnings and trying to message people to be cautious. >> another question from twitter. what are you thinking about with respect to how voting is going to unfold in the fall given the extenuating circumstances? >> during the height of the pandemic we were supposed to have a primary right at the peak. i signed an executive order postponing the primary and moving it a few months later to june. we allowe

states who chose the union army. there are substantial divisions within southern society that should lead us to think twice about equating with the confederacy. northerners believe those southerners who switch sides who had been in the confederate army didn't deserve it but joined the union army. or endorsed the unions war. those kinds of southerners will are symbolically very important to lincoln and i could get you one example of confederate named edward gant who is from arkansas who came to embrace the republican party in the lincoln administration emancipation and was held up as a sign and symbol that this was possible. the last thing i will say on this is as follows, lincoln proposes this amnesty of's december 1863. nicknamed the 10% plan. the reason is this, lincoln was hoping that by offering amnesty to confederates he could get 10% of the confederate population to peel away from the confederacy join the union pledge allegiance to the union and that 10% can be a vanguard that might leave those restored states back into the union. the fact that he chose the number 10% tells you something about about the absence for

on one occasion a few years ago ascended from one of the southern states went with us to birmingham,tgomery and selma. and he came back and he said to me, he said, john, if i'd been on this trip earlier, my voting record would be different. i think sometimes you have to get people to walk in other peoples shoes. people have to see and feel and sort of taste something for themselves. i'm not one of these that are quick to label someone. you know, i don't think any of us are born -- widow come into this world putting people down because whether they are able or disabled or whether they are of a a certain race. i think we are taught to dislike, we're taught to hate. because we come in here in ascent. i try to look up and see every person at -- sometime along the way they were innocent little children come just little babies, and something happened to them along the way. on the other hand, i think in our society today i think that individuals may be in american politics that feel that in order to get ahead or state elected they must be seen as crusading against something rather than for

us states that's not a record that this united states wants to be setting so health officials all across the country are taking measures on their own independent of federal guidance we know in southern california they're closing beaches after they have had some reopening is there we know that the governor now is also recommending that many of the bars and restaurants close to indoor seating and really shut down their operations to try and turn it around we're seeing the same thing in southern florida another big hot spot and what's really remarkable is texas because you remember there the governor kind of resistant to the whole idea of wearing masks now mandating that in public in a number of localities so what we see is really this local action to try and turn things around knowing that if this doesn't happen many of the events this weekend could be known as a super spreader event as people get together they watch fireworks they celebrate what happens is that there are often asymptomatic people present and soon you've got a very large outbreak this is what local health officials are trying to avoid even as the president is set to kind of ignore that advice and go celebrate independ

but congress used its authority under the guarantee clause to force southern states to pass new constitutions and to remake the political systems and they have constitutional conventions in which they were required to have multi-racial coalitions. these weren't staffed purely by white property males. so essentially, by reconstruction, you see this marriage of the constitution of political structure as i call it or congress's power under the election clause and a guarantee clause in article 1, section 5, that delegate power directly to congress. so congress's power under the 14th and 15th amendment in particular gave congress a quite broad basis to act to remaim southern political structures. and it is this understanding and i argue that influences that should influence what congress could do now when we think about the scope of congressional power over elections. instead of just focusing solely on the 14th and 15th amendments. >> thank you so much for that. and i have to say how exciting it is to read your work and to find you pointing our attention to the very few parts of the constitution y
