thick with laws, articles and conventions of laws everywhere but as great european thinkers like montesquieu pointed out, you need not only the law but you need the habit in heart. >> could you repeat that? >> you need not only allow all but the habits of the heart -- >> have that of the heart. >> he gets that from montesquieu that says not only the structure of the law but the spirit of liberty in every generation. now in europe today, the gap between all of these incredible laws and the average person is total they haven't a clue of what religious freedom means including sadly many of the leaders in brussels and in my own country in england. as of the gap between these high polluting laws and the way people back to the practice is extreme. and you're not the kind of launch a discussion. it's got to get back to the habits of the heart. civic education again. parents to children, teachers to students, etc.. it's got to become a living spirit in every generation or it's just it won't work. >> the great american judge of the 20th century wrote a small book based on a speech that he gave to cel

knowing that, as montesquieu [speaking french] there are areas where europe must have integration and can only deliver results. a political union needs to be our political horizon. is not the demand of a passionate european. this is the way to ensure the future. policies, namely our economic and monetary unions, depend on the construct that supports it. commissionped out a blueprint for a monetary union and the necessities and possibilities of deepening our institutional set up. step, one phase after the other. as announced last year, the intention to present further ideas on the future of our union and how do best consolidate and deep the community approach in the long term. that way, these ideas can be that isto a debate necessary for a true political union. we can only meet the challenges of our time if we strengthen the consensus of our political objectives. in this area and those outside of it. between north and south and east and west. the european union must remain a project for all members. economically, europe has been a way to close gaps between countries, regions, and peopl

montesquieu declared in my large democracy -- quote -- "the public good is sacrificed to a thousand private views" -- close quote. the founding fathers designed congress so that it could represent the interests of large states and small states, of populous and rural areas, of north and south, the task they gave to congress was to prove that montesquieu was wrong. it was here that our, quote, thousand private views who are to be weighed and considered and from those deliberations public policies aimed at the public good were to emerge. the form of our government was designed to guard against any one faction from succeeding in attempts to fies the -- sacrifice the public good to its own concerns. at every turn, the founders designed our constitution to defend against extremism, to help all-too-flawed elected officials transform what could be the anarchy of a large nation with varied opinions into a coherent whole. the tactics that we are seeing in this debate and the tactics threatened in the debt ceiling debate that we will soon face turn the founders' vision on its head. we're told that unl

the quality and quantity over regulation, knowing that as useless laws weaken the necessary ones, montesquieu said, 'les lois inutiles affaiblissent les lois nÉcessaires'. only a strong europe can include this. as i stressed last year, it is not just a dispensable way forward and the way that we can ensure this. ultimately the solidity of our policies depend on the credibility of the political and institutional construct that supports it. so we have mapped out in the commission blueprint for a deep and genuine economic and monetary union, not only the economic and monetary futures, but also the necessities, possibilities, and limits and deepening of our institutional setup and the commission will continue to work for the implementation of its blueprint step-by-step, one phase after the other. and i confirm as announced last year that the intention to present before the european elections, further ideas on the future of our union and how to best consulate gate and deep in the community method and the community approach in the longer term, that way these ideas can be subject to a real european

montesquieu talked about the separation of powers. when the legislative power becomes executive power that is the time of tyranny. we have to do something this is to the president this is why he needs to be pursued out be pursued over to the supreme court embrey the president says you are not a king. you are the president of legislation comes from congress not from you. >> we have an example that affects our state. the president when he had 40 votes in the house and 60 votes in the senate couldn't get cap-and-trade through the congress. yet last friday he has announced he is going to do it anyway and all indications are there won't be another coal-fired plant built -- a perfect example of what you're talking about the executive arrogance that if i can't give what i want to congress that will just do it on my own and see you in court or whatever limited options we have left. if he really believes he has got the power to delay obamacare why not delay it for everyone, not just businessmen and? >> i think that is what people see is unseem
