guest: it is the 12th congressional district of north carolina a goes from charlotte to greensboro.o be worse. in the 1990's, it was the most mitigated district in the country. back in 1991 and 1992, the bush enforce thisrtment mandate or doctrine of maximizing the number of majority/minority districts. in north carolina, they worked districts that snaked along highways. it went along the median strip i-i-e d 58 -- ideas 85 fro -- 85. at one point, if you had both car doors open, the joke was that you would be in three districts at the same time. the worst congressional district these days is probably some of the ones in miami, fla. which are essentially just patchwork of blocks. they don't look anything like actual shapes. they are indecipherable. you look at i-map and so the 22nd district, the 19th district, the 20th district, some of those seized stretch from fort lauderdale to miami and palm beach. they may be streets that are straightened out by the new processor host: 500,000-one ratio would equal 609 representatives and u.s. house of representatives. a report was put together

let's go to stephanie in greensboro, n.c.. caller: you see pictures from detroit about how awful the conditions are there for the people. then you see the pictures of the labor building, which is this glorious thing that stands out over the universe. doesn't it strike you that there is something really wrong there? guest: you could say the same thing if you looked at the general motors building or the chrysler building or the ford motor co. building. the corporations have been very successful, and in fairness, the united auto workers union has been very successful because early on in the late 1940's, they organized almost all of the auto manufacturing workers. they have been very powerful and successful. what people have to understand, and i often say this to my labor law students, what unions are is they are lawyers for workers. most do not go out and hire a lawyer. they hire a union. the our businesses. they are not civil organizations for nonprofits. they are businesses for their business. the ig negotiates on behalf of man

. >> host: art mccord from greensboro, north carolina, e-mails to you: professor posner, in connection with your analysis of the rise of the executive, what role does the parallel rise of independent agencies such as the fcc, sec, etc., how do these agencies differ from the various government departments like the commerce department, agriculture department, etc. >> guest: that's a very good question, and so, you know, many people won't know the legal background here, but just very briefly one of the features in the rise of the executive is the growth of the bureaucratic state. so before the roosevelt administration most of the things that, you know, are problems -- pollution, fraud and so forth -- they were dealt with by state governments. and then in the last 30 years the federal government has, to an extent, taken over. one of the issues was, you know, who in the federal government should run the agencies that do these tasks? and, ultimately, most of the agencies, let's say the epa, for example, are basically controlled by the president. the president appoints the head of the agency
