madison. mr. madison's problems are -- are cerebrovascular, which, of course, can happen at any age. justice breyer: right. but i would think -- alzheimer's. dementia of many kinds. mr. stevenson: -- i take your point. justice breyer: all sorts of things. and so we could litigate each case, case by case, or you answer what -- mr. stevenson: yes, that's right. the rule i -- i would argue is that where someone has a disability that renders them incapable of orienting to time or place or rationally understanding the circumstances of their offense, they are incompetent. and there has been no reliable determination of rational understanding of the circumstances here, because the court was unwilling to consider any evidence about that mental state that was outside the scope of insanity, delusion, or psychosis. and we think, as the eleventh circuit did, when you accept dementia as a relevant basis for coming to that conclusion, the eleventh circuit had no difficulty finding that he's clearly incompetent.

the case of madison versus alabama. the justices will consider whether a state can execute someone who has no recollection of committing the crime and his mental capacity has declined significantly while in prison. >> the argument next day, case 177505, madison d. alabama. mr. stephenson. >> mr. chief justice, may it please the court. it undisputed premaster now sits on death row unable to fully orient the time and place. as a result of several strokes he suffers from acute vascular dementia which has left his cognitive abilities greatly diminished. he now has intellectual functioning and the borderline range but the memory scores 68 and the severe disabilities have rendered him bewildered and confused most of the time. mr. stephenson. >> a question for both sides but i'm having trouble with a firm grasp of exactly what issues are presented. tell me if i've got this right. there are two. the first one i went to a news to someone who doesn't remember the details of their crime, can he satisfy simply on that basis? he kno

, madison is not going to listen to him because madison does not respect the court, either.he court is not equal to the presidency. madison doesn't even show up in court when he is sued in court. brian: isn't it equal under the constitution? joel: in the constitution, but it was not an practice. madison doesn't even think he is subject to the court's jurisdiction. secondly, the problem is that there is no proof that a commission was issued, because the commission had been signed by president adams after it had been approved by the senate, and sent to john marshall's office, and john marshall has put the great seal of the united states on as secretary of state. brian: that date is when? joel: a day before jefferson took office. marshall did not get around to delivering the commission. the problem becomes, madison refuses to turn over the commission is proof to the court. the senate, under control of the theblicans, this is jeffersonian republicans, not the current republicans. they refused to turn over the congressional records showing this commission had been approved by the

madison sees conflict as a virtue for the first time in history. not is something that should be managed, but he virtue. a virtue that will allow us to maintain a limited but energetic government. >> i'm going to start with gene on this one and then we will see what allison and james think. today, would you say the respect of branches are roughly in their intended lanes, so to speak? if not, which one or ones aren't and why does that matter, if it matters? >> they are not in their intended lanes. i think madison was very concerned about the legislative branch drawing all power into its impetuous vortex. i think from a 21st century vantage point, it is clearly the executive that is drawing all power into it vortex. i think one of the reasons, i am really not trying to bash madison, he is someone i have great admiration for, but i think one of the reasons for this is the theory that he articulates in federalist 51 that ambition would counteract ambition and that the interests of man would be connected with the constitutional rights of place. in other

you are so right to say lincoln as well as madison, and lincoln as directly channeling madison went inis speech, which i found since the piece came out after reading your amazing piece, 1838, the young men's lyceum of springfield -- wink and is afraid of mobs. he is saying the abolitionist newspaper creator lynched, seeing african americans and white people lynched. ic spirithe mob-ocrat is in the land. we are passionate by -- led by passion. i fear that we will be seduced by demagogues like caesar. , theys to these young men only solution is reverence for the constitution and the laws. let it be taught from every cradle, let every mother and father teach it to every traveling babe. we must imbibe this reverence for the constitution and it has to become a political religion. it reminds us that things have been very bad before. we are more polarized than at any time during the civil war. >> we are more polarized than any time since the lead up of the civil war? jeffrey: after the civil war, the divide between republicans and democrats was as great as it is since then. it has not been as

beenf these would not have in the mind of someone like madison. is comparingrence to the early 19th century, the period between the revolution in civil war, where there were a lot of powerful people we think as statesman in congress and particularly the senate, most of whom did not become president. there was a sense that there were voices who are debating issues. they were partisan and having debates about constitutional issues. , for very do not structural and political reasons, that is not where we are today. that is a difference if we look at early 19th century. . it is like you are describing separate institutions sharing powers. nobody has brought up the courts, james, are you go there? this is a really interesting question and it speaks to the core of confusion today. we often think of the different functions and powers they have and why are they not at the? -- why are they not acting? we think of the veto power or advising consent, we think of it in their own sphere. if i was a famous chef, much to happiness, and i was trying to communicat

i want to thank the madison public library, the madison public library foundation and on behalf of the institute, supporting what we do and the foundation, the charitable arm of the capital times. it's an honor to introduce dan kaufman who was a madison native. grubb. the 1980s. he is also a musician. he has written for the new york times magazine, the new yorker and the nation. the best review of his book to date is one by bill leaders. he capsulized is what the book is about as he's eventually telling how the movement grew during the century. and the way that legacy has been dismantled and transformed since the governor was elected in the legislation in its wake. perhaps the most summery of that was a review by elizabeth. basically said wisconsin has been transformed from a progressive action into " showcase for right-wing ideology inquiry. i will introduce dan kaufman. please give them a warm welcome.

so athens is on medicines mind. -- on madison's mind. popular passions can be unchecked and laid to demagogues -- and lead to demagogues. that is why he devises the entire american system to cool mechanisms to slow down discourse so that reasonable majorities can prevail. arethe cooling mechanisms under siege. congress is polarized more than any time since the civil war with red and blue america living in digital echoed changers -- chambers and separate communities. a tweeting president is a madisonian nightmare because presidents are not supposed to committee can greatly with the people. and the supreme court, with the prospect of 5-4 republicans against democratic decisions, and most importantly, social media, facebook and twitter have sped up public deliberation. they make possible the formation of digital mobs, undermining the extended republic that madison thought would make it hard for mobs to discover each other and organize and passion could dissipate. a mob can be a majority or a minority. the fact that we have parties that are

said madison he said you're not smart enough. [laughter]in and you can play football they are why are you going there? go to platteville that's where you're supposed to go. r, was a very good guidance counselor and a good friend of myself as a teacher and my parents but very upset that i did not go to platteville. so what he wrote the history of l roy instead of saying elroy had elected a governor he sai said, he never mentioned my name the whole thing he only mentioned my father as a great politician at the county board and i always resented the fact i didn't even make the cutting room floor i was not even mentioned in the history of elroy. that's my story. >> at gw madison you worked at the capital for the sergeant of arms and there was one story you told he would ask you to take care of the senators? . >> going through school i didn't have any money so i heard they were hiring people up at the capital. my father said go see louis . he represents us from our county. so i called up there to see if i could see him and he wouldn't

madison's checklist.polk.ve serara don't have time to get into but there was a bit of a dark side there. very wealthy cotton plantations from the labor of in slaved people. lavish clothing from the house of worth in paris , although sheized held herself out as a very pious woman, she always arrived fashionably late for church. and some of the press accounts that i have really criticize her all,er dressing and it was or what we know from the collection down in the museum in tennessee, from the house of worth. you see frances cleveland still doing that. were clotheshese -- all three bought from the house of worth in paris but that was clothing they purchased right before becoming first lady. and so, we do not really have a record per se of them purchasing overseas clothing really -- the first real record of that, on the record, that we have is jackie kennedy, 1961 when she goes and makesl the first state trip with president kennedy in may to paris and she has ivanka ivenchy design the gown that she wore to

madison, thatsus establishes the principle of judicial review. that's what he is known for, but he was a judge advocate general in the army. he served at valley forge. he was a leading figure in the virginia house of delegates. probably an indispensable man in the ratification debates, because he was the guy that majority ofaded the virginia delegates to go along with ratifying the constitution. without virginia, there would not have been a constitution. an important diplomat with negotiations with france, and he was a secretary of state. all of the contributions he made as a founding father kind of get forgotten because of the significance of his one decision in marbury versus madison. announcer: sunday night at 8:00 eastern on c-span's "q&a." announcer: next, american university professor and offer aram kendi sits down for conversation about the history of racist ideas in america. he argues that while there has been racial progress over time, that progress has been met at each event by more sophisticated , intellectual, and of racism.al forms h

tony said right here madison everything is on the table. he was asked if that included dollar per gallon gas increase? he said everything on the table. in a minute josÉ it's ridiculous. but in the end, he's not telling us what it is. if you don't have a plan till after the election you need to be ready for massive gas increase. a dollar per gallon would be $1200 per family. our approach is to give them -- maintain highways and not to massive changes. >> mystery were. >> holy mackerel. of course the people of wisconsin understand, except for scott walker a dollar a gallon is ridiculous. it's never going to happen. but, let's go back to what doesn't work. scott walker's policies. he has drawn the line in syndrome transportation and its results are roads are crumbling. we have people in northern wisconsin scraping the asked fault off the roads and driving on gravel roads. about that. we have to change this. highest with an engineer and she was telling me she's worked on bridge projects and she's afraid there's going to be bridge calamity in th

powerbrokers are one that madison warned us about. that will substitute their own needs for power herself brandeis meant true leaders, they are able to identify the needs and wants, even when they are changing suddenly. and being able to identify them to raise up to higher aspiration to a collective expectation and turn it into a purposeful action. my belief is that these basic needs when they are fulfilled, jobs in the american dream and things are going well for quite some time, a home, prospects for your future children, and all of the sudden the ape comes on fulfilled, that's when mutual animosity that madison and hamilton warned us about is at its greatest. last time i have seen such were read of such as i have felt during the recession was in the great depression. back then, whether you agree or don't agree, there was -- most noted by man who stood alongside the tracks as his body, the body of franklin delano roosevelt was placed in a kaufman came on the train from warm springs to hyde park. the man in the casket came close to h

the war hawks took power, pushed madison from takingg on britain. the view was they're so busiest fighting napolean, they're not going to want a war with us. they'll realize what we want and have a quick end with to it. they were powerful on the ground and at sea they were willing to sign other fighters and mercenaries, contracted it fight. and they say we're going to get the colonies back. you're not going to fight for your freedom and emancipation. >> host: so this war of 1812 ended in 1815? >> brian: yes, i don't want to be prumptious. but in school they said the battle didn't have to happen. however it was a substantial victory for america, let's leave it at that. i felt as though i'm intrigued by this war. i remember going to the white house and they say we're going to bring you to a place not many people go, and the archway at burn mark. this is where the british burned the white house to the ground. i our five'3" president is whiles away on his horse watching the white house burn to the ground, the british have annihilated us, they're dominat

for madison to carry this out? to that, he said, no. what he what he said was, if you read it -- one thing robert byrd said to me at one time when citing harry truman, he said, any time you read the constitution, put it down, and read it sometime later, and you will find something new. no matter how often i have read this constitution in my life, i find something new. when you look over marbury v. madison, the decision, marshall says, he filed a writ of mandamus. he read article 3, 6 and 2 that says judicial power will extend to all cases in law and equity arising under this constitution. then, "in all cases affecting ambassadors, public citizens and consuls, the supreme court shall have original jurisdiction in all other cases. the supreme court shall have appellate jurisdiction both as to law and fact with such exceptions and under such regulations as the congress shall make." did not say both as to law and fact and constitutionality. it did not say that. it said, as to law and fact. the court said, it doesn't say in the other we have

are you ready, madison? >>. >> my name is madison thomas. and not much younger than christine blasey ford was at the time of her assault. i am also a survivor. when i watched the hearings last week i was devastated. what the hearings told me was that our country, our congressmen value the reputation and career aspirations of my male classmate, of men, of my assaulter more than my bodily autonomy, that their futures are inherently worth more than mine, and i refuse to believe that. [ cheering ] this is the message that congress is sending young girls all across the country right now that if they come forward with their stories, if they share their truth they'll be ridiculed and they're telling young boys that they won't be held accountable for their actions and they can have fun at the expense of women. i saw and felt a lot of pain last week, a resurgence of my own pain and the pain of thousands of women rocked by dr. christine blasey ford's testimony, but i also saw a lot of hope in my male classmates expressing disgust at how she was treate

>> two thirds could be reelected. >> we are in the wisconsin historic society headquarters in madison. deep in the archive stacks where the public never gets to go. this is what the inside looks like. filled with miles of boxes of paper. we have come down to the location where the 200 boxes of the senator and his family donated to us to look for specific items about the genocide treaty and the golden fleece awards. which is what he is best remembered for. senator proxmire was a senator from wisconsin who took the seat of joe mccarthy when mccarthy left office in 1957. and then proxmire won the election in 1968 and successively won all through the 1950's, 1960's, 1970's, 1980's. he served for 25 years until the end of 1988. one of the most remarkable things is he was dedicated to clean government and he thought campaign financing was one of the major sources of corruption. so he spent as little as possible. in his last two elections, where the senate refused to accept -- for the senate, he refused to accept donations and spent less lent $200 out of his pocket. he managed to get elected

so this is the madison point. the thought is large face-to-face assembly reason triumphs over passion, so the constitution is designed to not allow mobs or majorities to form quickly so that the slow voice of reason can prevail. and that's why tweets are so unmadisonian because tweets based on passion travel farther and faster than the complicated arguments based on reason. on the other hand, podcasts are madisonian dream. an hour of wonky arguments which people with listen to their car or jogging really gets a tremendous response and tremendously spreads the light. technology is a thrill. what an astonishing world we live on. online you can have access to the original records of the convention to all of the c-span programs to the podcasts and interactive constitution. but with very to inspire citizens to have the habits of discipline so that they're actually watching c-span or listening to the podcast rather than watching cat videos or what those do and not elevating ourselves. it's very much an opportunity as we
