so, they put a lot of pressure on bork to do it, and he did it. it would cost him a seat on the supreme court later, when reagan nominated him, because of the hard feelings that would continue among democrats for decades about bork's action in firing cox. here is a clip of what happened the night that cox was fired. all the networks -- i happened to be watching television and learned about it that night, and i had just pled guilty a few days earlier, thinking cox was going to do this right. and i had agreed to cooperate and proceed accordingly. so, i was stunned when this interruption occurred. and i was able to locate that clip. >> nelson denton at the white house -- president clinton -- president nixon has discharged archibald cox as water get special prosecutor and has abolished the special prosecution office. as a result, attorney general elliot richardson has resigned his post as attorney general. and when deputy attorney general williams ruggles house -- william ruggles house -- william ruckelshouse refused the orders of the president, he wa

harvard law extremist who had helped then-senator biden stage a character assassination of robert bork40 years ago, they decided the time has come to eliminate the supreme court as we know it. in his op-ed the president says he wants term limits on justices, never mind what the constitution says. never minds the advice and consent role of the senate. president biden and his leftist allies don't like the current composition of the court, so they want to shred the constitution to change it. he wants what he calls an ethics code that already exists, but the president is actually proposing a stealth process for people other than the justices to decide cases. again, constitution be damned. the fact is that president biden himself came to office and stood up a commission to investigate whether to change the supreme court. this morning the president thanked this commission for its insightful analysis that supposedly informed his reform prop proposals. never mind now, never mind that this commission, cochaired by one of his closest political confidantes, didn't actually recommend that he do an

the next person in line and the department of justice is the solicitorne general who is robet bork, hecarry out the order and fire cox. and forever be labeled by doing this. a lot of people have missed in his action the argument that richardson and what he made to him and only chaos could ensue if you did not ask because after you leave the third man in charge of the department of justice is any man's but it was the authority and the janitor might be able to say that he could be the acting attorney general, it was an unclear situation, they put a lot of pressure on him to do it and he did it, it would cost him a seat on the supreme court later when reagan nominated him because of the hard feelings amongst democrats for decades about his action and firing cox. here is a clip of what happened the night that cox was fired. all the networks, i happen to be watching television and i learned about it that night. i had just pled guilty a few days earlier thinking that cox was going to do this right and i agreed to cooperate with him and proceed accordingly. i was stunned with this interruptio

he block the bork nomination in 1987 when reagan nominated bork and he planned the first earth day in dc. so he was a real liberal. and we said to him, hey, you know, why do you become a lobbyist? and he said, because they paid me more really? wow. was that surprising? i think so. you know, to be is to say that this is what you really care about, but then so easily oh, we work for companies are often you know against own interests because they pay more but you know, he lives in a $10 million house. so he worked. wow. that's amazing. so if these guys are mostly not participating or dad, where where how were you able to build like an exhaustive collection stories was shocking to everyone around them. yeah. so you know washington's a type of place where if you're writing someone else, then everyone wants to talk to you. so, you know, a lot of these people had made enemies and you know, my job in your job is to go find their enemies and talk to them. so, you know, each one these people had careers that for 40 or 50 years and they, you know, they burned lot of bridges. and we went and talk

provision of certain communal services to citizens, maybe there is water, electricity, something else that bork was aiming for in general, or is it just as cynical... strikes on the civilian population, as, for example, happened in lutsk, when shahed simply flew into residential building, where, in principle, there is definitely no military target, well, look, here and there where there was a hit, there is a service station and a garage cooperative, there are apartment buildings nearby, that is why so many 232 cars were damaged, there are broken windows, one roof will definitely have to be repaired , will do capital, also two for two institutions of the trade union, three administrative buildings, well, absolutely, absolutely everything is civilian here, the headquarters, the city headquarters of people's aid are deployed, osb is issued, there is a film. rails, ties and other things, utility crews help people to close, one roof will definitely have to be done, raised, completely torn down, done capitally, and applications for financial assistance from the city, the city, we have a city program,

studio event with anton bork.

uh, you know, his opponents, he was part of the barking of judge bork. you know, i mean, basically, right there with ted kennedy and, you know, biden is, it's just, he's never, uh, he's never seen an opportunity wouldn't take no matter how base or d based. it was good. he could never back it up. i mean he's, i mean, his drug war policies alone have been devastating to this country. the mandatory minimum sentences, the, you know, literally just, it kept going me. it's like the bite in crime the binding front. but that's all you heard about in the 19 eighties and nineties will offend even previous binding grind bills of work. why do we keep needing more buying crime bills? that was always my question. and you know, he would take on that. he would, he would grandstand and sort of march to the head of afraid he should have never been in. he did this with are in policy with the rock for each. i mean, he talked about the partitioning of rock into different provinces. i mean, is his ideas of always been completely extreme and lunatic. and it's always because jo

certain communal services to citizens, maybe there is water, electricity, something else. why did borkim at all, is it the same cynical attacks on the civilian population, as happened, say, in lutsk, when shahed simply flew into a residential building, where, in principle, there was absolutely no there is no military purpose. well, look, here where the hit was, there is a service station and a garage cooperative. there are apartment buildings nearby, that's why so many 232 cars were damaged, the windows are broken, one roof will definitely have to be repaired capitally, also two for two institutions of vocational technical education of ptu, three administrative buildings, well, absolutely, absolutely everything is civil here, the headquarters, city headquarters are deployed , helping people, usb is given out, there is film, rails, nails and other things. one roof will definitely have to be done, raised, completely torn down, done capitally, and that's it applications are being collected for financial assistance from the city, the city, we have a city program, the city provides financia

he resigns they finally end up with robert bork a name who also goes on to have a role in american politics later who actually follows through with the firing of the special prosecutor. all of this is unfolding against the backdrop of the yom kippur war when and again in sort of the way that we lose these moments in history. what was one of the tensest moments in the entire cold war one of the moments where the us and the soviet union come closest to actual conflict not unrelated to where we are right now in modern geopolitics and and nixon, you know, totally consumed by the saturday night massacre is drinking heavily on pills and is drunk in the residents when henry kissinger and al hey his chief of staff raise the defcon level the defense condition level of the us military one of only a half dozen times in the entire cold war that the us raises. its nuclear threat level. and nixon does not even participate in. the decision or the meetings because he's too drunk upstairs in the residence in the wake of this and again like these would be one of the like great moments of american, you know,

the truckstop position of holmes with someone like judge bork waiting for montana is particularly interestingecause here was a judge who was a cowboy. he was a miner he was self-educated. he was gruff he was a bit as often the case with free speech advocates. he was a bit of a loner and irascible, but he had an inherent clear d of thought when it came to free. when holmes was signing off on horrific opinion, silencing dissenters, this montana judge ruled in opposite way when people were opposing the war, and he said, you can't just criminalize the opposition to a war that's that that's not what this country is about what the constitution's and there wasn't a just an a native or belief that comes out in those opinions and. there are other judges like him who stood in opposition to these two judges like holmes they had that clear and and great personal cost bride accused of being traitors then attempts to impeach them and remove them from office. yes. so these are very, very. it's too bad. so thank you for restoring them to public and hopefully they'll become subject of biographies and admirati

and kind of the old traditional antitrust world, there was this thing called the bork doctrine, whicht into any great detail. basically it was based on an idea of antitrust that said there is only antitrust problem if prices are going up. so one of the tasks of the new regulatory regime, that is seeking to be more aggressive is to redefine that and to teach courts, teach judges, that is not the right way of looking at it. so many of the companies that have risen up out of the tech economy offer products for free. now we have learned the reason they are free is that they are collecting your data, they are making money off of you that way, so the free product is this little cookie that they give you so that you will hand over all of your personal information and the fact is that the justice system has not caught up with this reality, and it is going to take some fearless litigating to teach them that things have changed. >> thank you for this. i appreciate having you on the show. >>> up next, donald trump publicly vowing to protect the -- we are opening up project 2025 to chapter five,

so robert bork at the time was against radical egalitarian ism. when you hear him define, you realize he's talking about what we now call wokeism, right? the same tensions existed then, but then they kind of broke for a while and now they're back. and even more intense, exacerbated form. so i wanted wonderful point i want to talk about something you write about the u.s. is an envy engine. it's sort of a nation of the have everything and we see that bravo a whole channel you know that's dedicated devoted to people who seem to have everything and the want everything's but can't. right and, you know, we can blame social media, obviously, but it again, an accelerant it wouldn't work if there was an audience anyway. there just seem to be so many ways to be miserable, annoyed and angered. i would love if you would read about sort of microclimates of privilege yeah, i think something has happened in our service economy that is a piece of this puzzle. when i was a teenager in the late 1970s and early 1980s, okay, you can do the arithmetic i'm 59 when i wa

hopelessly naive right now, but it is not more naive than the notion that antonin scalia and robert bork and lauren silverman had when they were scholars 50 years ago, that we could have originalist judges dominating the judiciary. strategic naivete is actually crucial to successful reform work. you have to be a little bit naive about what you love the most. you're not a cold eyed realist about your spouse or your friends, and you should be just a little naive about our country, too, and about its prospects. not so naive as to be optimistic. don't do that, but just naive enough to be hopeful. and so to fight for our constitution and not against it. there are a lot of people now, including some on the right, who are ready to give up on the constitution or to dismiss it as inadequate to a society that is as divided as ours. but i think they are exactly wrong. the constitution was intended exactly to address the problem we have now. the challenge of governing ourselves despite deep divisions. and in a way that might heal those divisions just a little, might bring us a little closer together

on november 1st, 1973, acting attorney general robert bork, a former air scholar appoints leon jaworski, the second special prosecutor. and then in december 1973, the house judiciary committee inquiry begins under chairman peter rodino and john dawes, named special counsel. on february six, 1974, chairman rodino asks the full house of representatives for a explicit authorization to conduct the impeachment inquiry. the resolution. with a vote of 400 and tend to four. may 9th, 1974, the formal house committee evidentiary hearings begin on the impeachment of president nixon. these hearings are held in executive session and go on for ten weeks. july 27th, 32/30, 1974, 50 years ago. three articles of impeachment are debated and approved. the house judiciary committee. seven republicans vote for at least one article, as do all of southern democrats who came from districts that had voted overwhelmingly for president nixon. and an august 5th, 1974, president nixon releases. transcripts of the conversations revealing nixon's involvement in the watergate cover up beginning in june 72. this confir

prior to judge robert bork and the chicago school in the later part of the 20th century, antitrust was sort of a "whose line is it anyway" type of policy. you could use it to affect any end you wanted. to such an extent that a supreme court justice in a dissent, antitrust case saying the only consistency i can find in antitrust law is that the government always wins. that is what the progressives want. if you read the underlying antitrust statutes, the sherman act, the clayton act, they are short and vague. they granted a lot of power to government. it was only after decades of fighting against those things that we were able to rein that back in. there is nothing more that progressives love and being able to unmoor antitrust from the consumer welfare standard. that way if you are engaged in any acquisition activity, or even not, they can say we will come after you unless you do what we say. what does your corporate board look like? is your workforce unionized? these things are not theoretical. they are happening. we are hearing from m&a attorneys that they are getting questions from th
