court asking it essentially to develop a new constitutional right, a right to privacy that although moored to the first amendment i think could be somewhat described as somewhat penumbral of the first amendment. so in that case i think some hostility from justice scalia should not come as a shock. but i think for some people watching this course thinking about this through the lens of proposition 8 and judge walker's order were a little surprised. >> justice scalia's questioning was quite striking i think to everybody in the courtroom. he was extremely eloquent about what he termed "civic courage" and the need for civic courage in a democracy. so i think people were surprised and struck by it. irwin. >> let me start with salazar versus bono case. i think its greater significance is what didn't happen. in the spring of 2005, paul and i were on opposite sides arguing a case in the supreme court, van orden versus terry which involved a 10 commandments monument that sits right at the corner of the texas state capitol and texas supreme court. as i approached oral argument i realized i had no ch

today i'd have to say i'm more of a michael moore patriot. when i looked as your country, when i look at what's happening to the environment and the gulf of mexico, when i look at what's happening on wall street as goldman sachs raids the pub treasury and our disastrous foreign policy, i say to myself the only thing that's ever stood up to that kind of corporate wall street power in our nation's history has been the power of government. the power to regulate. labor unions, fdr-style policies. and so whei hear people like you -- when i hear the tea party people are going back -- or rush limbaugh talking about, you know, protecting what's best about america, i don't understand how they don't look back to the legacy of anticorporate behavior. like nafta was a free market idea. and nafta is what's responsible for the destruction of the livelihood of the mexican farmers who --. >> host: we have a lot to work with. thank you. >> guest: i agree with you in part. i was an opponent of nafta and and i think ross perot and ral have nader and the head of

think all of those would be decisions that a majority of the court would feel very strongly were mooredatutes, be it the first amendment or the due process clause or the statute itself. yet do i thinkhat we might see something of a kind of populist backlash of the court that we have -- kind of a tenner that we haven't seen recently. i think historically there are many presidents for sortof a popular backlash on the course but i think the combination of citizens united and rulings in favor of conrad black and jeffrey skling could unleash something we haven't seen recently. >> so paul, last topic let's talk about the court's business cases this year. >> i'll talk about them just in an overview fashion. i think if you think about the first couple of years of the roberts court, there was a popular conception that the roberts court was a very probusiness court. and in a couple of different areas, including some ofthe early pre-emption cases of the roberts court, but also in some securities cases and the like, the court seemingly was ruling in favor of the defendant ins a variety of different
