i think this is why we have a national constitution center. it's why we struggle to get constitutional questions right today. it is because these issues are central to who we are as a people. and that's the best thing you can say about our constitution. it gives us a mechanism for arguing about who we are that is better than fighting. although we did fight on one occasion, we ought not to on the future. the work of the national constitution center is to contribute to our not fighting each other. >> thank you for those kind words ande thank you for contributing so well to that inspiring mission which i know we all share. diana schaub, the last word is to you. our friend colin thibeault says some of lincoln speeches are famous for being very short. was that intentional and does that impact his rhetorical intention on constitutional ideas? your thoughts on his shortness as we close this wonderful program. >> yes, and i think i don't have much time left to answer this. i will try to be as brief as lincoln. yes, he acquires this gift for brevity and

not by the terms of the national constitution. how do you want us to think about it? i could say my own work, i have tried to troubled that sight line we can constitutions. i'm not sure i've succeeded i wanted to know more expressly your take how in this period we should think about the relationship between those two systems of government. >> when i do, in part, having written such a big book on constitutional, i'll talk a little bit less about it in this book. i was happy to put a lot of that aside the part that's probably most explicitly about constitutions is, you know, some of my it made this a bigger part of their book. a couple pages where i believe that the u.s. constitution was written and it's very dramatic gender-neutral form. the person he is the vocabulary used. he is a gender neutral term there. because of eliza harry it's example. there's three examples of the dropping's constitution in 87 when jenner was explicitly reference. one of those was actually the fugitive slave clause, the word he or she was explicitly in the original way that they drafted that

we ask about the relative relevance of constitutional thought and the federal level and the national constitution and state level constitutions, and i i came away. i'm after reading not sure quite how you how you want us to think about that in other words the voting rights of women in new jersey, um people of color in new jersey are determined by state lawmakers in new jersey not by lawmakers in washington not by the terms of the national constitution. so how do you want us to think about that? i can say in my own work i have tried to level that you know that seemingly bright line between state constitutions and federal constitutions, but i'm not sure i've succeeded, but i wanted to know more expressly sort of your take on how in this period we should think about the relationship between those two sort of systems of governance. yeah, so for me, i think what i do because in in part having written such a big book on constitutional as i was like, i'll talk a little bit less about it in this book. so i was happy to put a lot of that aside the part. that's probably most explicitly about constitutions

they've gone through all their procedures in that national constitutions and national systems. and they want to be members of nato, potentially. they could be invitee, countries sitting around the nato table, that nato summit that takes place at the end of june. if all the nato countries say yes. and then be erratic vacation process. that could last several months when the letters were put in and they were given to the secretary general of nato, yet still to book he spoke. let's listen to what he had to say. every nation has the right to choose his own pulse. you are both made your choice off the photo democratic processes. you are, our closest partners and your membership in nato would increase our shared security. the applications you have made today in our ann historic step. and jane's as we've been saying this, obviously not an uncontroversial lose. and not all nature members are on board. there are currently 30 nato numbers of sweden and finland joined. it becomes $32.00 out of the current $3029.00. are very much on board with these 2 new applications. they say that these

some of the things that people have talked about in the new york times, the atlantic, or the national constitution center. certainly at the robert smith center for the constitution. thinking about what a new constitution would look like. first of all, who is going to be involved? who is going to be part of the conversation? one of the interesting things that happen in our lifetime is that iceland tried to crowd source its constitution in around 2010. it had kind of a fascinating experiment in public contributions to come situational conventions. countries like south africa did not do that. but would crowdsourcing be part of the conversation? that was super interesting. i make an argument there that there are various ways to get the public involved. one of the things that i make an argument is coming from larry saboto out of the university of virginia, he thinks if you hold a constitutional convention today it is going to have to be regular citizens that our participants. not the traditional lawyers, judges, and politicians who are generally the ones who write constitutions. how does -- how do we g

our, you know, national constitution, our state constitutions provide for succession could a candidatedo think the public should understand what a candidate is facing so that they can help inform their decision but again, the lack of candor i think raises a lot of unnecessary questions. the truth is the truth, and the public will understand that mr. fetterman is human but the sort of -- this cloak of secrecy becomes a bit disturbing after awhile. >> thank you, doctor. appreciate you joining. >> my pleasure. >>> tiger woods rebounding in the second round of the pga championship to make the cut. christine brennan is here to talk to us about it. that's next.

the national constitution center in philadelphia is the host of this event. >> and now it is such a pleasure to introduce our extremely distinguished panel of americas leading lincoln scholars to discuss lincoln's speeches and the american idea. michael burlingham holds the chancellor naomi b lynn, distinguished chair and lincoln studies of the university of illinois springfield. he's the author of several books of lincoln, including lincoln observed, the inner world of abraham lincoln and the two volume american law around lincoln's life as well as his new book, which he will be discussing tonight, the black man's president, abraham lincoln, african americans, and the pursuit of racial equality. noah feldman is the felix frankfurter professor of law, chair of the society of fellows, and founding director of the julis-rabinowitz

channels to the digital air together. the people are bypassing the anniversary of the huge national holiday constitution day, with which we congratulate the polish situation now in mariupol in azov, in particular, there is an ongoing assault, and the occupiers, in particular will publish the first videos of this assault, it is most likely a large-scale fire after the impact, the smoke behind the trees can be seen from any corner of the city, and for now we are waiting for information from our defenders about the information of oleksiy honcharenko, who was given to him by the azov regiment, right now in these minutes, at least about the death of one civilian from azovstal well, after yesterday's massive aerial bombardment of the territory of the azovstal plant by the russian occupiers, it became about the death of two civilian women there. what is happening specifically now in azovstal it is difficult to imagine, but the ministry of defense of the russian federation confirms the assault, allegedly, they resorted to this because some of our guys ' firing positions there were active, in particular. about t

thank you for joining our broadcast today in poland, the national holiday constitution day on the third adoption of which in 1791 became one of the most important historical achievements of the country in europe, it was the first written and officially approved by the parliament of the constitution in world friend after the united states, the documents were replaced by the transition from the old poland to a progressive state , so the may constitution limited the privileges of the polish nobility, the mischief of which was detrimental to the country, in return, even the bourgeoisie received new rights, in particular, its representative was allowed to participate in state administration and become officers , peasants, serfs received the protection of the law which was supposed to weaken the drives of the most oppressed population, the may constitution was approved by all of them, king stanislav august-poniatovsky, one of its leading creators, however, part of the wealthy nobility , outraged by the restriction of their privileges, set up an anti-constitutional institution, the magnates ca

and there's some constitutional issues with a national standard as well. what's the authority under the constitution to enact that. everybody describes this as right. if the court reverses roe versus wade they're saying the constitution doesn't provide that, which returns it to the states. to me that makes sense under the constitution and that's where the vigorous debate is going to be, and that's where we're going to face a lot of concerns on the compassion side and states are going to make different determinations of it, but the people are going to express through their representatives exactly the direction they want to go and to me that makes sense and i think it makes sense under our constitution. >> okay, thanks so much for joining us this morning, governor. >>> we'll be back in 60 seconds. s see him? he's not checkin' the stats. he's finding some investment ideas with merrill. eyes on the ball baby. digital tools so impressive, you just can't stop. what would you like the power to do? you just can't stop. i don't just play someone brainy on tv - i'm a

gathered here from the supreme court, protesters marched about a mile and a half from the national mall constitutionnue here to the supreme court. there are fences behind me, 233 year history, most protesters you can see, a bit of a debate with pro-choice protesters things are still heated, thousands were out here including barbara lee who talks about her experience getting an abortion as a teen, first time on an airplane and pulls have said while the economy is the biggest issue facing facing voters, the second most and protesters earlier outside the home, the supreme court justices, a 60 -- three majority right now and protesters some of them are leaving here to go to the justice home. earlier clarence thomas said the draft week of the opinion was like infidelity violent trust of the court. right now things are thinning out. of course two days ago senator joe manchin voted against the law put forth by senate majority leader to make abortion a right, constitutional right and it failed 51 -- 49 but as you can see, things are still a little heated most of the crowd has thinned out but i'll send it ba

national government. mark: if down believe in the constitution, you believe in critical race theory. ou think that everyone in the constitution is malleable, none of this matters to you. >> right. if none of this matters to you, you lose sight of this vision of federalism, the idea most of people in united states get more of kind of government they want, less of kind of government they don't want if they follow the constitution, if none of that matters to you, you have a dangerous temptation to accumulate power at highest level possible. national level. then you have the powers combining and putting together a government that will make a lot of people unhappy. and that leads to tyranny. mark: to tyranny and violence. let's me ask you this senator lee, when you lead this first draft opinion, did it say anything in there about marriage, interracial marriage affecting any other rights other than the issue of abortion. >> no, in justice alito's opinion, goes out of its way to point out, it does not extent to any of those areas, but focused only on this narrow area, and reach the the decis

rebuild let's clean up every corner of our native land and return to the topic of the national holiday in poland , constitutiono say the least, the aid that poland provided to ukraine after the start of full-scale russian aggression is unprecedented, so according to the estimates of the kiel institute of the world economy, in monetary terms, it amounts to 2.4 billion euros, ahead only of the united states the financial and material resources of the united states of america allocated by warsaw to kyiv are close to half a percent of poland's gdp, and this is the third indicator after estonia and latvia. articles of polish aid are weapons, including heavy military equipment, food, medicine , as well as loans and grants. in the previous hours, we have seen that ukraine is now fighting for its independence, this is common for our peoples, and we are talking about poland's support for ukrainians. i would like to ask you. how do you feel about it? how do you feel and how do you join in order to support almost 3 million ukrainians who were forced to seek refuge in poland? need our help, i.e. poles and ukrainians who c

enemies , but also about allies, let's discuss the following, namely that today is a national holiday in poland , constitutionird of may, its adoption in 1791 became one of the most important historical achievements of the country in europe, it was the first written and the constitution was officially approved by the parliament. the second in the world after the united states of america, the document replaced the transition from the old poland to a progressive state. thus, the may constitution limited the privileges of the polish nobility in their arbitrariness , which was a curse for the country. instead, the bourgeoisie received new rights, in particular, its representatives were allowed to participate in the state becoming administrative officers, peasant serfs received the protection of the law, which was supposed to ease the oppression of the most oppressed population, as well as the may day the constitution was approved by the diet, it was sworn in by king stanislav august ponotovsky, one of its leading creators, while part of the wealthy nobility, outraged by the restriction of their privileges, organi

. >> yeah, and he has before and we heard from him go to the national constitution center in philadelphiaak powerfully about the need to protect voting rights. you'll recall in january he traveled to atlanta again making a renewed push for federal legislation to protect the vote. of course, those efforts didn't go anywhere and that's the fear here from democrats or from this white house is there's only so much he can do and there is a sense of real powerlessness with the margins and the senate's 50/50 and the filibuster is not going anywhere and there will not be federal legislation to do this, so therefore all he really has is the sound of his own voice and the power of the bully pulpit and certainly that's what the president has shown that he will carry and there are democrats that are frustrated he's not doing more and as i reported in the last few days, this is a white house that's sharpening his attacks and the time for bipartisanship has made successes and infrastructure and they're dealing with a republican party that says they don't want to play ball. they don't want to deal with

there was actually a popular initiative built for the constitution that was proposing the nationalizationines and other natural resources. i think that we have to take into account our constitution is not going to solve all their problems. there are still a lot of things that are going to be part of future struggles. the constitution opens a new political period for those struggles, so it definitely -- the constitution is not enshrining nationalization, but nationalization of natural resources is a way to solve an economic crisis that is ongoing. to pay for the social rights that are being enshrined in the constitution, it is definitely on the table and it is going to be parof the political struggle in the next decades probably. amy: what are the plans to galvanize support? this is going to be a referendum all over the country in september for this constitution and how much do you expect it will change? >> well, the thing is that since the beginning of the constitution convention, the right wing and the great losers of that election are having -- doing a dirty campaign of fake news and pr

that is, it is a symbol that connects us with ancient things to the commonwealth of nations with respect for the constitution of the fairly democratic constitution that was approved on may 3, 1791, this holiday was established in april 1919 immediately after the sejm of poland convened and was celebrated until the 39th lesson a-and they also celebrated after the second world war ii, but very briefly in the 45th and 46th years, and the occupiers certainly did not allow us to celebrate this holiday, of course, during the second world war and during the events in poland, it was impossible. during the time of national poland during the pnr - it was also a forbidden holiday only once in national poland it was celebrated on may 3, 1981 at the state level and so is any manifestation of an effort to celebrate this holiday how the holiday of independence of political opinion as a holiday of the maturity of the nation. that's all. all that was forbidden er and foreign occupiers and their own communists and er the holiday returned to us on er may 3, 1990 and since then it is celebrated as well er the most important hol

constitution not to any foreign nation, no matter how sympathetic the cause my oath of office is to the national security of the united states of america. we cannot save ukraine by dooming the u.s. economy in march inflation hit a 40 year high gasoline alone is up 48%. energy prices are up 32% over the last year. food prices have increased by nearly 9% for use vehicle 35% and new vehicle prices have increased to 12% or more. yes inflation does not just come out of nowhere comes from deficit spending. united states spent nearly $5 trillion in covid-19 bailouts linked with the highest and sustained levels of inflation in u.s. history. americans are feeling the pain congress seems intent on only adding to that pain by shoveling more money out the door as fast as they can for this bill under consideration second spending bill from ukraine in two months. three times larger than the first. military aid to ukraine is new though since 2014 provided more than $6 billion in security assistance in ukraine. in addition to the $14 billion congress authorized a month ago this bill passes the u.s. wil

i believe that ukraine long ago had to legislate to establish crimean tatar national autonomy in the constitutionpresident due to the fact that it was not done in time, we now have so many victims, so many victims among ukrainians, and we have to fix everything, our common future together bereber .

president of poland, angel dudy , congratulated him and the entire polish people on the national holiday of the constitutionday in poland, discussed further cooperation, concrete steps and support for our defense, informed about the current situation in the areas of hostilities, but what is happening in mariupol during the evacuation, about what we can do, what else we can do to do together to help protect our state and our common freedom of ukrainians and poles all x games traditionally before recording the address signed decrees awarding our heroes with state awards noted 185 servicemen of the armed forces of ukraine, two of them by death two more of our defenders were awarded the title of hero of ukraine forever glory to all our heroes eternal memory to each eternal memory to everyone who gave their lives for our state glory to ukraine and then the material about how the evacuation took place people from azov became how they met them in zaporizhzhia, what the president talked about in his address daria and her mother hid from russian bombs for two months in the dungeons of the azovstal medical complex in

well, let's return to the topic of the national holiday in poland, constitution day, its adoption in1 became one of the most important historical achievements of the country in europe, it was the first written and officially approved by the parliament of the constitution in the world, second only to the united states our neighbor poland, after the beginning of the full-scale invasion of russia into ukraine, the most women and children left. well, so far, poland has taken in more than 3 million ukrainian refugees who are currently our colleague tetyana ivanska is a journalist. she is on the phone with us now. tanya, congratulations. i congratulate you already. please tell us how this border crossing happens in general. so tell us about this route and the acceptance by the polish side of those who were forced to leave their homes. well, look at the crossing e- the border is actually one of the very first aid declared by the polish government, it's how to say unhindered crossing of the border because i crossed the korion on foot, they only checked the documents, some mothers go without

constitution, not to any foreign nation and no matter how sympathetic the cause, my oath of office is to the national security of the united states of america. we cannot save ukraine by dooming the u.s. economy. in march, inflation hit a 40-year high. gasoline alone is up 48%, and energy prices are up 32% over the last year. food prices have increased by nearly 9%. used vehicle prices are up 35% for the year, and new vehicle prices have increased 12% or more. yes, inflation doesn't just come out of nowhere. it comes from deficit spending. the united states spent nearly $5 trillion on covid-19 bailouts, leading to one of the highest and most sustained levels of inflation in u.s. history. americans are feeling the pain, and congress seems intent only on adding to that pain by shoveling more money out the door as fast as they can. this bill under consideration would spend $40 billion. this is the second spending bill for ukraine in two months, and this bill is three times larger than the first -- larger than the first. our military aid to ukraine is nothing new, though. since 2014, the u

mark: if you don't believe in the constitution, and you believe in critical race theory. you don't think that nation776 but 1619, if you think that everything in the constitution is mallable. the ends justify the means, this does not matter to you. >> right. none of this matters to you, you lose sight of the vision of federalism, most of the people in united states will get more of the kind of government they want, less of kind of government they don't want if we follow the constitution, if that does not matter to you, you have dangerous temptation to accumulate power at highest level possible, the national level, then you have those powers combining and putting together a government that will make a lot of people unhappy. and leads to tyranny. mark: to tyranny and violence. let me ask you this senator mike lee. when you read this first draft opinion, did it say anything in there about marriage, interracial marriage affecting any other rights other an issue of abortion? >> no, justice alito's opinion, that is masterfuly written goes out of its way to point out this does not extend to any of those ar

alito says that unless a right is specified in the constitution or deeply rooted in our nation's history and traditions, it doesn't qualify as a constitutional right. and scholars say there are many things we think of as rights that weren't around when the constitution was written, not in our history. there weren't a lot of gay marriages when the constitution was written, or interracial marriages, contraceptives were illegal. and they say that alito's argument could cut those rights down, no matter what he says, if someone brings a challenge to them. and they note that the last time the republican party wrote a platform in 2016, it called for overruling roe versus wade and the case that legalized gay mariage. david? >> terry moran live at the supreme court. and we note the sound of the protesters on both sides of you behind you again tonight. terry, thank you. >>> in the meantime, we do turn to the economy. the other major headline tonight. your credit cards, loans, and new mortgages. the federal reserve raising interest rates a half a point to try to slow down this economy and inflation

there's other core source of national strength that will be relying on and this decisive decade. our democracy under years ago, if asked what constitutes the wealth of the nation. we might list the expanse of our land, the size of our population, the strength of our military. the abundance of our natural resources and thankfully, were still wealthy in all those attributes. but more than ever in the 21st century, the true wealth of the nation is found in our people, our human resources, and our ability to unleash their full potential. we do that with our democratic system. we debate, we argue, we disagree. we challenge each other, including our elected leaders. we deal with our deficiencies openly. we don't pretend they don't exist or sweep them under the rug. and the progress can show painfully slow, can be difficult and ugly. by and large, we consistently working toward a society where people from all backgrounds can flourish guided by national values that united, motivated and uplift us. we're not perfect. but at our best, we always strive to be in the words of our constitution. i'm more perfect union for democracy is designed to mak
