so i think we look at margaret for the lessons he can draw about the necessity of developing a broad group consensus so the court is speaking as a court, approaching the case in narrow ground, avoiding politicization -- you have to remember, democratic republicans were just waiting to take action on the central action that would have resulted in a packing gland, and i think the court would have been attacked dramatically, and i do not know if it could have survived. he looked at dread scott and say, well, this is a good example. and that can teach you just as much as other examples. >> would you want to draw from that a rule that this court should steer clear of controversy? >> no, not controversy. but you have a case that could have been resolved on narrow grounds. i am not suggesting it would have resulted in a decision freeing the country from slavery treated may have resulted in the same decision. but it would not have the political impact. either to result in relief for dread scott or not. but instead, she went straight to the results on the broadest possible grounds, and as a r

by margaret washington and black behalf receipt, tmr heights by david beito both books were published this year by the university of illinois press in 2009. i am eric arneen at the university of chicago and i'll be talking with professors washington and beito and beito today. but first a few introductory remarks. the name sojourner truth is a familiar one. along with harriet tubman she is generally recognized as a female abolitionist who challenged racial and gender conventions of her day and provided a moral voice for the evils of chattel slavery. that she did and her story is more complicated as is the explanation of her world in these pages by professor washington who teaches history at cornell history. sojourner truth's life is crucial but little recognized facts. that the economy of the northern states at one point relied heavily upon the labor of slaves. and antebellum reform embarrassed a wide range of issues including temperance, spiritualism and women's rights as well as the all-important issue of antislavery and abolitionism. professor washington's study is more of a biograp

trappings of a criminal enterprise, headed up in chicago by, check the name, but i believe it's margaret talmadge, who hired barack obama o to head up project vote and he got paid. the canceled checks exist. he worked for project vote as an employee. hired by the head of acorn in chicago to work for their subsidiary to get out the vote and to train people in community organizing activities. and postures himself as if community organizing has a highly virtuous endeavor. hardly anybody knows what a community organizer does. i suspect that it's different for community to community, county to county, state to state, nation to nation. when it comes to community organizing in chicago, clearly there are those who adhere to the mission of the great community organizer rules for radicals, who also hillary clinton studied under by the way directly, whom barack obama seems to be a philosophical protege. the rules for radicals clearly applied to acorn. they were activist. they did intimidate. it was part of their m.o. acorn project vote and dozens and dozens of other subsidiaries of acorn scattered

margaret is my opinion that regulating compensation and financial-services more broadly will cripple one of our nation's most important historically most productive industries. the heavy reliance on bonuses has long been a defining feature of wall street compensation going back to the days when they were privately held partnerships. such firms kept fix cost under control by paying low base salaries and pay most of the compensation and the form of bonuses tied to profits. this basic structure remained intact when the investment banks went public but the cash bonuses were replaced with a combination of cash and stock options. the primary way such structures can encourage excessive risk-taking is through asymmetric awards and penalties, that is high rewards for superior performance and essentially no penalties for failure. financial firms provide significant penalties for failure in their cash bonus plans by keeping salaries below competitive market levels of earning a zero bonuses actually penalty and bonuses to fall on bad years. average bonuses for executives in the t.a.r.p. recipien
