. >> this has john marshall on one side and the supreme court on the other. it only seems appropriate. we will toss the coin and it comes up marshall. medicine goes first. are you ready? first question. this is supreme quote. which justice wrote that three generations of imbeciles are enough. >> homes. >> that is one point for team madison. >> team jefferson. in which case that justice antonin scalia call the reasoning pure applesauce. >> probably. >> there are so many. >> next question for team madison. which justice popularized the phrase i know it when i see it. >> do you know what the context was? >> it was an obscenity. it was janice or whatever the heck. >> that is a point for team madison. next question for team jefferson. >> which justice is credited with coining the phrase the right to privacy in an 1890 article. >> brandeis. >> that is correct. >> all right. which chief justice coined the phrase evolving standards of decency. >> we will go with earl warren. >> that is correct. >> this is a particularly have a question. this is the supreme court goes

according to thorton, he said he wrote john marshall, serving on the committee for commemoration, and suggested congress take this up and do this to make sure they secure george washington's remains. so they do. and william thornton now is really playing a central role in creating this claim that the federal government should have possession of george washington's body. you might imagine how virginians feel about that idea. or later, the south. washington became an icon, and even was included in the seal of the confederacy. there are many different people that feel washington belongs to them. the body becomes a way to really stake out a claim of who really owns him. today, when you go to the capitol, you see the crypt, which has that name, because really it was designed in part to entomb george washington beneath the rotunda. it would have been an open air floor. people would have been able to look down and see a statue of george washington and beneath that would have been where the washingtons were entombed. eventually, this does not happen. trumbull gets upset because the open air i

chase, taney had never been a judge, john marshall had never been a judge. you know, so we've had many very significant justices who had no judicial background. i'm not saying that we don't want judges to serve on the court. i'm saying having a broader xperience can be beneficial. and there's plenty of evidence of that because understanding the legislative process, understanding the world of politics, understanding what goes into the making of a statute, all of those things can be helpful. >> powell was a business lawyer primarily, not a litigation lawyer. dr. huebner: right, right. and having that practical experience and understanding all those things, i mean, i would think that would be very useful. >> good or bad for the country and if it's something that would be positive, how would we get there? dr. huebner: term limits for supreme court justices? i would not be in favor of that. i think that -- if you go back to the founders' vision and go back to hamilton and you think about the history of the court, it is important that we have an independent jewish

had voted against thurgood marshall's confirmation, against the civil rights act, the voting rights act. the second ranking democrat on the committee john mcclellan. democratic senator from arkansas. had been absent from the marshall confirmations but had made clear he opposed marshall. had voted against the voting rights act and the civil rights act. and sam ervin who we will attend -- encounter again in this class had voted against the marshall confirmations and the voting rights act and the civil rights act. the three most senior democrats on the judiciary committee. these are senators who today would be among the most conservative members of the senate. they are at her critics of the war in court and the warren court's key decisions. so essentially what they decide among themselves and eastland is whochair of the committee controls how the process operates. thanks to the examples of the last few weeks the key person in the kavanaugh hearings was chuck grassley. what eastland mcclellan and ervin decide is that they are going to use this opportunity to put the warren court on trial. to basically bring in fortis before the committee an

justice was earl warren, appointed by eisenhower, and the other eisenhower appointees on the court, john marshall holland the 2nd, william brennan, and potter stewart. roosevelt appointees on the court, and william o douglas, kennedy brian white, and johnson appointee thurgood marshall and abe ford has. >> overall, what should we know about this court? as it's beginning to think about this case? >> this was regularly viewed as one of the most liberal for lack of a better word, is not a great word, but most liberal courts in that they expanded individual rights, the expanded federal power, the expanded judicial power, in lots of ways. were responsible for some of the most iconic decisions in recent memory, but also, some of the most criticized. but the majority led by chief justice warren and a bunch of the later appointees, including brennan, really were quite powerful in terms of what they could do in terms of transforming american law. >> the court heard the case, november 12 1968, what are you doing that day? >> i don't know exactly. another 1968 was in very, very big year for the vietnam war,

john marshall is the fourth chief justice.at you all should know about. and i'll read it to you. it says, "and nor shall any state deny to any person the equal protection of the laws." so if congress passes a law or the president issues an executive order that is in conflict with the constitution, the constitution must prevail. ♪ >> vmi was a 150-year-old all-male military college. it had a tremendous endowment, well-connected alumni, four-star generals. when you came out of vmi, that was something. >> the virginia military institute was the last all-male state-supported school in the country. 157 years of school tradition as an all-male military academy. >> boys can be troublesome, full of hormones and so forth. i don't mean to make general gender characteristics or generalizations here, but for some young men at that time of their life they need discipline and vmi provided that. >> look at the men that stand before you. they represent the essence of vmi! >> a female high school student wanted to attend vmi, so she brought a

well, as justice john marshall said, it's the third branch of government, the courts, that decide what the law is. some court needs to decide whether or not the president can be indicted or not. if i were making a bet, i would put my money down on the president can be indicted when you look at the nixon cases and the clinton investigation and so forth. we all know that the purpose of the office of legal counsel at the department of justice is to take the most executive friendly position possible. that is why they are there. to defer to that as this attorney general nominee has said he will, and to provide for no review in the judiciary of that concern, and he's provided no assurance that he would do that, is to simply disable the constitution in favor of an unelected group of folks within the department of justice with a significant conflict of interest in the fight between executive and legislative power because they represent the executive. we also have the problem of interference and independence with the mueller investigation, and i have to say, i thought that former attorney gener

i also want to thank jennifer marshall, john malcolm, and especially the panelists today. each one of you brings a unique perspective to today's discussion. but we're all united in our shared values of tolerance and mutual respect. i also want a special thanks to emily cowell, director of the richard and helen devos center for religion and civil society for organizing this event and for many years as an attorney dedicated to the protection of religious liberty. i also want to take -- before i start my official remarks, i just want to take a personal moment to say how exceptionally well i thought bill barr did yesterday in his senate confirmation hearing. it really -- i've always believed it, that he is the right person to take over the department of justice and lead us into the next chapter in the department of justice's history. he comes from the perfect place where he's raising his hand, willing to serve but doesn't need the job. that's always a good place to be. i will be happy to hand him the keys to a well-oiled machine at the department of justice and allow him to mo

the middle east to build power plants across the middle east, they called at it marshall plan for the middle east. >> johnin, this would set off a lot of flags. one of the reasons there's been so much concern about iranian nuclear ambition than were reported, purported certainly by this administration, is that if iran were to get a bomb, then the saudis would want one, egyptians would want one, they would be proliferating throughout the region. >> it's worse than that, andrea. the saudis have made no secret they would go for a nuclear weapon if iran got one. by pulling out of the iran nuclear agreement, the u.s. pulling out, the chances of that are somewhat greater. the second thing is, saudi arabia has for some time, as you know, had missiles from china, medium range missiles that are nuclear capable. they say they would only use them for conventional weapons. but they are configured to carry nuclear weapons if they were available. and when you add to that the fact that what we call the international regime for control of nuclear weapons, the nonproliferation treaty and so forth, that's i think fraying t

john ross, the cherokee leader, was a national political figure in the united states. he was well known. he was somebody that could marshal allies in the country in both politicians, members of congress, but also civic groups. there were legislators opposed to what this act was talking about, which was a removal of american indians. we knew that most americans today, if they knew the term trail of tears, they understand that it was a moment of national shame for the united states. there are very few people that say that it was their finest hour, that was great, let's do it again. we know people understand it was something the country regrets. what we were interested in doing is trying to explain how there was a real national debate about this. that people at the time, including people in congress, predicted that it would not go well. we wanted to show that it was a national conversation that happened. in this section, we show a range of points of view. we start with president jefferson who was a leader that understood there was a contradiction, in his mind, about having these indian nations within the borders of the unite

marshall: thank you so much for the gentleman for yielding. mr. speaker, i must admit that back home, the new green deal means the john deere dealer's having a new combine sale. i'm standing before you this evening to tell you exactly why the green new deal is a sham. rather than setting realistic goals to reduce carbon emissions and incentivize cleaner energy development, this so-called deal stalls innovation and drastically expands government involvement in most every aspect of everyday life, at a price tag of over $50 billion. over the past two years, we've unleashed our economy by reducing government over-regulations, allowing more americans to invest from their families' futures and their pursuits. the green new deal will throw the brakes on our economy, as well as the world's economy. nothing will increase worldwide carbon production more than a stalled economy. additionally, this new green deal reverses our successes by imposing harsher regulations that will put american workers and american companies at extreme disadvantage. this socialist proposal that democrats are championing completely ignores the cost to american taxpayers and fails to addr
