then we had back to discuss the life of alexander hamilton and his role in developing the american banking system. then we will be at harvard law school where the professor will examine the causes of mass incarceration. friday we are in ann arbor michigan where kevin davis will discuss the growing use of neural science in criminal defense cases. then a stop in rhinebeck new york where former deputy chief of staff to president obama will discuss her experiences in the white house. wrapping up the week, on saturday, book tv will be live at the virginia festival of the book in charlottesville. coverage includes a panel discussion on nuclear war with authors and a discussion on the media moderated by april ryan and featuring senior editor mark fisher. former cnn bureau chief frank says no. that's a look at some of the programs we will be covering. many are open to the public. look for them to air in the future on tv on c-span2. >> c-span, where history unfolds daily. in 1979, c-span was created as a public service by america's cable television companies and is brought to you today by your cabl

the judiciary has no armies or police force, it has no power of purse or sword as alexander hamilton said. all it has is respect and trust in judge gorsuch must vindicate that respect and trust in what he has to say in response to my questions and our colleagues beginning tomorrow. thank you. senator, do you think best intelligence committee will overshadow the first day of course edges confirmation hearing? >> this proceeding is immensely proceeding for our democracy and is the house intelligence committee hearings, i don't think it will be overshadowed. i think for the premises of our decision-making it will be immensely important and what my colleague and perhaps what i had to say today. much more important will be what judge gorsuch has to say tomorrow partly because of the trump litmus test, partly because of the outsourcing of his bedding and screening and selection, and now rehearsing in preparing him for these hearings and probably because of the trunk attack on the judiciary. and we have an obligation, and it's probably one of the most serious responsibilities we have two as

as alexander hamilton said liberty can have nothing to fear from judges who apply the law but liberty has everything to fear if judges try to legislate, too. i try to teach all who come before with fairly and with respect and equal rights to poor and rich. i have decided cases for native americans seeking to protect tribal lands and class actions like ones that ensure c compensation for waste produced by california plants, for the disabled, workers seek rights and undocumented immigrants. sometimes i have ruled against such person but my decisions never reflect the judgment about the people before me. only the judgment about the law and facts at issue in each particular case. it is probably a pretty bad judge stretching for privacy results rather than the law compels. i came across a lawyer and judge who was largely forgotten when i went through the graveyard. his name was sumner and written on his tombstone 200 years ago was the description of a man. as a lawyer, he was faithful and able. as a judge, patient and impartial, decisive. in private, affectionate and mild. in private life,

as alexander hamilton said, liberty can have nothing to fear from judges who apply the law but everything to fear if judges try to legislate too. in my decade on the befrnnch, i tried to afford equal right to poor and to rich. i've decided cases for native americans seeking to protect tribal lands, for class actions like one that ensured compensation for victims of a large nuclear waste pollution problem, produced by corporations in colorado, i've ruled for disabled students, for prisoners, the accused, workers alleging civil rights violations and undocumented ill grammigran sometimes too, i've ruled against such persons. my decisions never reflected the judgment about the people before me but only the law and the facts at issue in each particular case. a good judge should promise no more than that and should guarantee no less. for a judge who likes every outcome he reaches is probably a pretty bad judge stretching for policy results he prefers rather than those the law compels. mr. chairman, as a student many years ago, i found myself walking through the old granary ground in boston. it'

we have other founding fathers like james madison and alexander hamilton wrote the federalist papers that are also very impressive and also first-rate political ties. but john adams really morphed those in any other during the time was a political scientist. that's what really engaged the interest. >> in her book, in part you describe john add-ons as among the folks in the revolutionary generation as sort of most gripped by the past. lucas talked a little bit about john adams as a practical political scientist. what about john adams is a practical historian? >> that actually began very early. it actually grows out of an interesting law. he began to course as a lawyer. it is often said that great many of our founding fathers were lawyers and that is nominally true, technically true. some of them were voters in planters come the lawyers and businessmen, and something else. john annan said in his early career was strictly a lawyer, and he became a 1770 when he defended the boston massacre, was parodied by dan the leading attorney in massachusetts, a role that he held until he got into p

in my office, i have a picture of alexander hamilton. he looks down on me every day. there's a lot of history. when you walk down the halls and you see the portraits of all of these people, you realize thef d you realize that the treasury has such an important function. many of which is nonpolitical. many of inch is operating the u.s. government and focusing on the economy and the growth and opportunities. and i'm honored to follow a great tradition not of only goldman sachs people. i work very closely with secretary paulson. it was an honor to follow him. but a number of incredible individuals that served in this role. i've been a regional banker for the last nine years. i think that experience and being a regional banker and having met with hundreds and hundreds of businesses, small, medium-size businesses and understanding what they need to drive their business in this economy and having traveled the last year with the president throughout this country, i've heard from the american public and that's what i'm committed to doing in this j

whether it was alexander hamilton,- alexander or john f.dy, or ronald reagan, the definition of america is what we were shooting toward in the future. we saw the president as a vantage point to the future. one of the things foreigners notice, they come to a valley but theyt farmland, keep going west because they assume there is something even better on the other side. spirit, the american that it was future looking, not backwards. we were not tied to the past. that created a culture in which we moved more. we started companies more. we created industries more, because it was always dynamic moving forward. at the same time you have this backward looking nationalism of steve bannon and maybe trump, and we have also begun a culture where we move less. entrepreneurial rates are down. we become less dynamic and i think we become less american. bob: how are the democrats responding to all these swirling forces? david: they are a little off to decide right now. the fight is within the republican party. i think they have not yet found their voice e

alexander hamilton stephens, the vice president of the confederacy. he gave the dedicatory address and said, even though this is a wonderful picture, let's remember what this war was really about. a fight between brothers over federal authority. spun around in his growth a little bit at that moment. durbin today.ator he said that this hangs right outside his office in the gallery. there is something about this contiguity that is interesting. it must be the illinois connection. i think that senator durbin thes lincoln's seat in senate, which makes it even ought her. caused an imagine, she sensation in washington. she was very young, less than 20 when she got sittings with abraham lincoln and mary lincoln was not amused at the time alone she got with her husband. she was very pretty and i guess the 19th century word is coquettish -- she flirted her way into getting settings. men at the with time. but listen. it wasn't easy for women artists at the time, and she had a lot of talent. she was widely photographed and portrayed, something we would call a mov

alexander hamilton said liberty can have nothing to fear from judges who apply the law but liberty has everything to fear if judges try to legislate too. in my decade on the bench, i've tried to treat all who come before me fairly and with respect and afford equal right to poor and rich. i've decided cases for native americans seeking to protect for class actions like one that ensured compensation for victims of a large nuclear waste, pollution problem, produced by corporations in colorado. i've ruled for disabled students for prisoners, for the accused, for workers alleging civil rights violations, and for undocumented immigrants. sometimes too, i've ruled against such persons. my decisions have never reflected a judgment about the people before me. only a judgment about the law and the facts at issue in each particular case. a good judge can promise no more than that and a good judge should guarantee no less. for a judge who likes every outcome, reaches probably a pretty bad judge stretching for policy results he prefers rather than those the law compels. mr. chairman, as a student m

as alexander hamilton said, liberty can have nothing to fear from judges who apply the law, but liberty has everything to fear if judges try to legislate, too. amy: that a supreme court justice nominee neil gorsuch. to talk more about the judge, we're joined by ian millhiser. he is a senior fellow at the center for american progress action fund and the ededitor of thinkprogress justice. he is the author of the book, "injustices: the supreme court's history of comforting the comfortable and afflicting the afflicted." so, ian, what to get your view of thehe first day of the heari. the judge was not questioned, the senators just made their statements. youtalk about what -- what thought was most important came out of yesterday's hearing. >> sure. i was really struck by the difference between judge gorsuch's rhetoric at the hearing and what i see in his record as a judge. judge gorsuch comes out over tradition that has become particularly problem on the right since barack obama was sworn in. it calls for judges to be more active, more aggressive in pushing a conservative agenda, more hostile

and whether it was alexander hamilton or the founders or abraham lincoln or thee door roosevelt or john f kennedy, or ronald reagan, the definition of american is what we were shooting toward and the future, we saw the president in the vantage point of the future. when people were crossing tennessee, one of the things foreigners noticed, the observers noticed. they would come to a valley which had great farm land but they kept going west because they assumed there would be something even better on the other side of the next valley. that was the american spirit, that it was future looking. not backwards, so we weren't so much tied to the past. and that created a culture in which we moved more, we started companies more, we created industries more, because it was always dinic-- dynamic moving forward. and what has been interesting to me at the same time you have this backyard looking nationalism of bannon and maybe trump, we've also become a culture where we move less, entrepreneurial rates are down, and so we've become less dynamic. i think we have become less american. and i support a n

alexander hamilton said that's one important feature. i think it was hamilton. said one important feature of judges, if we're going to give him life tenure, and allow them that extraordinary privilege, they should be bound down by strict rules and precedence. francis bacon called precedent the anchor of the law. so you start with that heavy presumption in favor of precedent. you consider those factors in that light. and, yes, in a very few cases, you may overrule precedent. it's not an exorable command the supreme court has said. that's the law of precedent as i understand it and is expressed in that book with my very highly respected colleagues. >> there's a lower court judge, you're bound by not only supreme court precedent but as you demonstrated, the precedent of your own court, but as a supreme court justice part of your job will be to decide when existing supreme court precedent need not be reconsidered. how will you decide when you revisit existing precedent? >> i don't think the considerations change. it's the same analysis that i would have as a supreme
