andrew jackson famously may have said john marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it. he probably didn't because the court didn't order him to do anything but neither jackson nor any other president has directly defied an unambiguous order. if the president did that, that would be a crisis. if he doesn't, according to that definition it's not a crisis. it's true that the president can't be forced to obey the supreme court. he has -- the courts have neither purse nor shield as alexander hamilton said in the feld ral -- federalist papers. so it is significant that despite some very serious judge bashing by administration officials of lower court decisions, the president has not said he will defy the u.s. supreme court. he suggested he would comply with the u.s. supreme court and in that sense we are not yet in a constitutional crisis. host: do you think we throw around the term constitutional crisis too easily or too much these days? guest: yes, i think we do because -- host: when should we use it? guest: i like the rigorous definition, a president defies an unam bigger

we have one weapon we can use much like john marshall was also not original in the constitution.we have basic law. but they made a basic law. and the court audaciously now said we could also strike down basic laws. there is no basis for that in the lot t law there is no basisr that anywhere except they have real power and what is real power? this is a constitutional crisis. the parliament says this is they law which will reform the judiciary. the judiciary said we are striking down the law, which reforms our bench. and then there is a constitutional crisis. and then the heads of the armed services refused to say that they will abide by the law that says they should do the bidding of elected governments. and they sat on the bench. and that was the real scary moment. because in that moment we did not know in a constitutional crisis where the armed forces will be. that is a very scary thing. and since the right is more responsible than the left in israel are not willing to burn the house. the right back down, backed off the reform. in the reform was a shelf, that is what happened. m

phrase one people as best as can reconstruct it comes first from john jay in the federalist than john marshall in coningsby. then daniel webster picks up and then it goes to parker and lincoln, but gerhardt, help us understand the evolution. jackson's second inaugural through van buren to lincoln and the evolving sense of one people and the union well do my best. in a relatively brief answer obviously that was a very important period of our history between jackson and lincoln and there are few aspects it that may be worth sort of sort of emphasizing at this, especially given our focus presidential inaugurals. so to begin with, jackson makes history of a certain kind. he is arguably the first populist ever elected president. he no bones about it. the the the party that opposed him thinks he is a tyrant and waiting and the party that opposes him opposed him. also think that he's going to bring the mob into power. it's going to become a mob ocracy. one of the terms used at the time abraham lincoln for much of his life actually cited against democrats. he course was as he put it, a clay man, a fol

chief justice john marshall in 1803.nstitution says this. and they need a very deep refresher on this one. the constitution of the united states and the laws under it are the supreme law of the land. we have no kings here. we have no queens here. we have no stars. we have no monarchs. we have no emperors and we have no dictators of a new silicon valley techno state. we have just the constitution and if you want to amend the constitution, there is a way to do that, too. a two thirds vote in the house and senate and three quarters of the state it now, i cannot take them all the way through the entire bill of rights, but i do want to talk about the amendment that is most crucial to science which is the first amendments to the constitution. [cheering and applause] our framers wrote a first amendment and rebelled against centuries of religious warfare, holy crusades, inquisitions, witchcraft trials, they wanted to sound government on a different basis which is the rights of the people. everybody being treated equally and ever

marshals office. we have johnmccoy, a real estate investor, and the founder of westport and plotter of the town of kansas. we have nathaniel holmes, a man working in the unionist count. kersey quotes general store a couple of doctors from westport. but most significantly, we have mrs. dr. lycans, which is kind of a funny 19th century way to put it. mary. mary likens was wife of johnson, likens the first mayor of kansas city. it conjures up the image of mrs. standing on the boat on the wharf in kansas city, waving a fond du to johnston lycans as she's being transported across the river to cast candy. excuse me, to clay county, where she has been banished because of her confederate sympathies. now for a brief analysis of bingham's painting martial law. the painting is fanciful in it is a piece of pure political propaganda rather than a factual rendering of a specific event. bingham used the harris house in westport as the model for the house depicted the individuals portrayed include jack harris gentleman with a whi

. >> so john actually let me i want to play. we all saw roger marshall, the senator from kansas, abruptly leave his town hall meeting after constituents, many of whom he says drove hours away, you know, from hours away. he left because they were talking to him about this very thing. and there was one attendee at that meeting, his name is chuck nunn, and there were accusations that he was a paid actor as part of this. well, he was interviewed and refuted that. let's look at what he had to say. john, i want you to weigh in on this watch. >> no, i. >> wasn't paid. >> paid. and if. >> they, you know, it makes no sense if they were going to have a paid actor, they would pick somebody a hell of a lot better looking than i am. and someone that's much better spoken than i am. >> he's got a sense of humor. >> he's not. >> an actor. he should. >> be. because he's. >> he's very. the man has a gift right there. look, look, we always have to be careful about these things because. yes, if you schedule a town hall, guess what? there's grass roots. there's going to be a
