we can trace back to the founding era where you have thinkers and leaders like roger williams, john adams, jefferson, madison, all of whom in the writings articulate religious liberty rights for mohamed begins, for muslims, even in those early times. it was actually the diversity within the meaning christianity is that led to the creation of a constitution where there's only one mention of religion in the original constitution. and that is that there's no religious test for office, , and yet now we are seeing as we saw with roy moore challenging keith albertson's legitimacy. we are even sing it with dianne feinstein and bernie sanders questioning some judges based on their religion. religious test for office was a fundamental value based on the diversity of those at the table at the time. and then of course in 1791 you get the adoption of the bill of rights gives you the free exercise clause and establishment clause. these are two principles that make up the one right of religious liberty. but what we've seen over time in the judicial system, religious minorities would bring up cases befo

president john adams famously observed the facts are stubborn things. whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of the facts and evidence. pursuing truth means always yielding to facts, even if they run contrary to our expectations. one of the ways that we protect the truth-seeking process in our legal system is that investigators and prosecutors do not get to decide which facts are true. allegations made by prosecutor are presumed not to be true. so when we make an allegation, we meet -- we need to be prepared to prove it. some people look at the high conviction rate of criminals in our federal courts and mistakenly assume that the job is easy. the opposite is true. conviction rates are high because federal prosecutors exercise great care for the alleged wrongdoing. we need to introduce documents that satisfy strict rules of admissibility. our witnesses must be credible under cross examination. we need to robot any exculpatory evidence. theust prove our case to unanimous satisfaction of 12

for those of you that really want to know where the first inheritance tax came into being, it was john adams. he actually put the inheritance tax in place to build a frig ot for the u.s. navy. so it goes way, way back. that takes me back to tax policy. i said i wouldn't deal with that too much. but it's hard to ignore the fact that it was a very bad tax bill for the working men and women. and one of the reasons it was a bad tax bill is that we need to build our infrastructure. and there's going to be a lot of talk here in the next several weeks about the president's infrastructure plan . $1 trillion infrastructure plan. good idea. let's do it. what was that movie? that famous line? show me the money. it disappeared. it disappeared in that tax bill. where it did it go? it went to the super wealthy. maybe they'll build the infrastructure. i'm sure the top 1%, top 10% would be happy to build a road. if of course they could charge a fee to get the people that use the road to pay that fee. but that doesn't make much sense. i'll take you back to alexander hamilton. and george washington. they put

john adams was called a hermaphrodite, half man, half woman, you see. [laughter] i mean, they said of roosevelt he was a demented cripple in a wheelchair, you see. harry truman said the white house was a gilded prison. but the point is that they all have a hard side to them. how did they express it, how did they deal with it, and you're going to have enemies. it's inevitable. you're not going to have only friends. they're combative, they have to be combative. but there are degrees, you see. and to be the way trump is which is so openly combative and that this is what seems to drive him so much that he's got to outlast, overwhelm adversaries, there's something emotionally unsuited about him for the presidency. he never should have had that office. warren g. harding in july 1920 -- sorry, the columnist for the baltimore sun -- [inaudible conversations] >> h.l. mencken. >> mencken wrote a column in which he said someday the american people in their wisdom will put a narcissistic nut into the white house, you see. he was talking about harding, but -- >> you

there are important cases from the so-called quads i war with france during the john adams administrationm important civil war cases, for the most part the court's have not answer the tough questions in this area. the answer therefore to what is law, has to be derived from looking at the patterns of practice among the political bridges of government. and how, the president, those practices and expectations have changed over time. >> that strikes me as a very wise answer, because, while we are all accustomed to case law and president, developing doctrine for the courts, we don't pay much attention to the fact that there are doctrinal developments in congress and with respect to the executive. that doctrine will change as the military's strategic and diplomatic challenges change. one way to keep up with those challenges is to see how our governments practice their war power. over the past 2 centuries. one thing i know most of your thinking about, whatever happened to the war powers act? this was a resolution out of the vietnam-watergate era. it was supposed to provide congress a check on the

abigail adams, but i don't think she was alive when john quincy adams became president. was the only person who saw her husband be president and her son. pretty unusual. mr. bush: it is. david: if you could run for president of the united states or former president of the united states, what would you recommend? mr. clinton: you have to live a long time as a former president to have as many impacts as you have as president. mr. bush: the decisions you make have got a monumental effect on a lot of people. it was exciting to be in that kind of environment. ♪ ♪ david: so today, when you were living in the white house, some people call it a prison because you really can't get out very much. or do you really enjoy it? it is a great thing, you had all these servants, you can go to camp david when you want. it is a pleasure to live there, or not so much? mr. clinton: i think if you have lived an informal life, even though i had spent almost a dozen years in the governor's mansion in arkansas, it is very different. if you lived -- i basically was self-supporting from the time i

our second president john adams declared that the jews in his words have done more to civilize man than any other nation. and your story inspired my forebears to create what our sixteenth president called a new birth of freedom and down through the generations the american people became fierce advocates of the jewish people's aspiration to return to the land of your forefathers one thousand to claim your own new birth of freedom in your beloved homeland the jewish people held fast to a promise through all the ages written so long ago that even if you'd been banished to the most distant land under the heavens from there he would gather and bring you back to the land which your father's business. through a two thousand year exile the longest of any people anywhere through conquests and expulsions inquisitions and pogroms the jewish people held on to this problem. and they held on to it through the longest and darkest of nights and night. elie weisel proclaimed seven times sealed the night the transformed the small faces of children. into smoke under a silent sky a night that consumed the
