we are back with dan henninger bill mcgurn and kyle peterson. so dan what do you make of this term?t? >> i think we should be happy with the new court. obviously justice neal gorsuch is aligning himself with justice thomas. i especially like justice gorsuch line when he says that they law is no law. you just cannot write a gloss and dump them off in the bureaucracy and expect that to stand. he intends to put more pressure back on the writers of legislation. i think there probably is a majority on this court to go in that direction. unfortunately some of the decisions this year probably made the situation worse and we will talk about that. paul: the citizenship question case is for some of us. frustrating because never before as i've looked at the case and some of my legal advisers say the court looks so deeply into overruling an agency decision that in itself is clearly lawful. the commerce secretary has the power under congress original statute to put the citizens question and by the looks of the motives and said it looked like his explanation was contrived. >> i think that's outsi

we are back with dan henninger, kim strassel and bill mcgurn.esidential speechwriter, what did you think of the address? >> if it was excellent. i think one of his strengths is the speech, he gave a great went to poland before. i wish you would do more of them. he tends to prefer the rallies, but when you're in this kind of setting you're also speaking to all of the american people. so it sort of lends itself. i was living in europe when ronald reagan came, it it was hard to believe 35 years ago but think of the changes, the soviet union is gone, the different challenges we have. i was are also visiting right after clinton came. so it is interesting to watch but i thought he did a great job on that. and points the differences today. paul: dan, what you think is the performance across the week? because i mean, the president loves the ceremony. he loves that stuff. he does it well. but do you think this is a change in his tone about europe? >> well, it was a change, i don't know, it's a complicated question about a change in tone about europe. he

we're back with dan henninger, kim strassel and james freeman.trategy from his speech this week. >> we learned it's going to be all about trump. that he's going to hit the president very hard and in personalal terms. that's what he did in this speech. he talked about how he was a failure morally, that he did not represent the country on the national standing, that he was a threat to democracy and to the constitution. but we also learned that he's going to very much try to seal this theme of trump from the last election, economic populism. he talked about president trump's tariffs and how it was hurting average americans. this is something the president needs to be aware of and potentially worried about. paul: let's break that down. first, take up the character question. i'm going to assert that i think that's actually a pretty shrewd strategy by biden because it goes to the weakness among suburban women in particular about the president's behavior, as president and the concerns that you saw in the last election in the suburbs with some college ed

we're back with dan henninger, allysia findley and kyle peterson. >> first of all, that it's not as polarized as people would expect and the conservatives don't all vote in lock step. there are a lot of divisions on some issues, especially gorsuch, neil gorsuch and clarence thomas have aligned on, for instance, the issue or the case, gamble versus u.s. on state sovereignty and prosecution's double jeopardy, whether states and federal government can both prosecute an individual for the same offense. they came down in the minority. they've been the minority in more cases than any of the liberals. paul: dan, what do you think? it's interesting, the cross issue is fascinating, it wasn't 5-4. some people thought it would be. justice alito's opinion managed to bring along kagan and bryor, 7-2, a pretty strong majority. >> justice's gorsuch's concurrence, he talked about something called the offended observer, the cross is that is in the middle of the road in maryland, people drive by, saying i'm offended by it, violates my sense of religious independence.

"wall street journal" editorial board member dan henninger on all this.elf. >> the oddity was why kamala harris raised her hand. the others, bernie sanders, elizabeth warren and bill de blasio, that is the definite left wing of the democratic party. it was not so obvious that kamala harris wanted to be in that group. but there she was saying that private health care plans would be eliminated under what they are proposing. this is really a pretty radical idea. tens of millions of americans have private health care plans, many of those people belong to unions, as congressman john delaney pointed out on wednesday night, and it's not at all obvious a lot of these people want to go into something called medicare for all. keep in mind, neil, they keep throwing around this phrase medicare for all. medicare is the health care plan for retired people, people who have worked all their lives, gave up their private insurance, they go on to medicare. if you are a couple say in your 40s with a family of two or three, do you want to really give up the private health ins

dan henninger, "wall street journal" deputy editorial page editor judy miller.w at the institute for policy research. if joe biden wanted to walk down has honored on this issue, it seems like the apparent owners of this issue, like aoc and a few others, wanting to do something specific. >> right. he has done something specific. many, many pages, even on the internet, and i defy anyone to try and go all the way through it. harris, i think the important thing is that what biden is trying to do, along with elizabeth warren -- who also introduced a plan today, along with jay inslee of washington, who hasn't even more expensive plan -- they want to throw down a marker as if being a democratic issue and something democrats and americans care about. that young americans care about this more than older americans, but this is an issue that resonates with young people. as we can see from aoc's impassioned green dream, as pelosi calls it. a speed when she couldn't even get the name right.

dan henninger wrote it, "wall street journal" editor, deputy editorial page editor. ng much done. i think that explains the rise of these alternative parties. brexit, the referendum passed in 2016. we know what has happened since. zero. nothing. here in the united states, we can't pass an immigration law, we can't pass a health care law that works, and obviously, there are nothing getting done much across western europe. you have seen the rise of all these alternative parties and it just has the elections for the eu parliament last week which is supposed to be the great threat to sovereignty, national identity. a lot of the traditional parties went down in those parliamentary elections and the alternative parties rose. what struck me is all this seems to be happening simultaneously. what's the common thread here? as i said, a lot of people like steve bannon argue it's about national identity. i think it's about something bigger than that. it's about the fact that in the whole post-war period, it's now about 70 years, what has the west been doing? building a welfare st

dan henninger from the "wall street journal." based on that comment i suppose that's part of what is being investigated when it comes to the investigators. >> that's what bill barr was talking about in the senate hearing when he said he thought there was spying, surveillance of the trump campaign and he wanted to find out what was going on. and the expectation is that attorney general barr will do exactly that. that was improper. the big issue here i think, bill, what bill barr is attempting to do is to restore the credibility of institutions like the f.b.i. and the c.i.a. to which the american people invest a lot of power. and their credibility has been damaged with at least half of the american population. that's a bad thing. i think bill barr, who wants to see these institutions function properly, wants to get to the bottom of who did what, punish those people and restore their credibility. >> bill: you had hope hicks before the house judiciary committee. it believes they're headed to court on this matter and a few other thing
