rehnquist said i've never read my covenant. somebody smart dug up the senator's covenant and sure enough this phrase had been struck down by the courts and had no validity so that ended that argument. my point is they were going after rehnquist no matter what. he said to me how many votes are going to be against me this time. and i said probably 36 or 38 and he said that many? i said yes but we're going to be all right. >> he got 65 to 33 the second time. >> right. >> what was he like up close and how did you learn how to tell people to pipe down. >> it was difficult. the first thing that happens when you get a supreme court nominee or any nominee. he is euphoric the president of the united states has asked me to be fill in the blank. and you've got to bring them back to earth, especially for the hearing which rehnquist was a casual guy. he wore hush puppies and sat back in his chair. he shuffled a little bit. he was just a normal brilliant lawyer that read cases. he was over at justice and he read the cases. when the selection

william rehnquist is the chief justice in 1988, what more verses been sent and he said this is historical not credible. this isn't what they meant when they passed the first amendment and he went through very cogently down the line. what they meant and it was that congress shall not establish a national church. is all they meant. it didn't mean that waee actively securiate. and unfortunately, that has become the way that we think of things. they think of his words before we know what is in the first amendment and i am arguing for the radical position but that is william rehnquist's position to bid everything was bad law and should be thrown out so the establishment cases are too confused to be about rectify and the court itself can't figure out how to balance the establishment and freedom of religion exercise walls and they contain them on their own feet. so, that's a more complex account of where things got derailed. it'sblicdatto d that. >> let's talk about religion's place in the public square. according to the polling from a few 97% of americans identified themselves as christians. in

but that's william rehnquist's position. he's, of course, deceased. that everson was bad law. it should be thrown out. all those establishment cases should be just chucked. they're confused -- they're too confused to be able to rectify, and a sign of that is the court itself can't figure out how to balance the establishment clause and freedom of religion clause, free exercise clause. they get continually entangled on their own feet. so that's the more complex account of where things got derailed and really what would be necessary to get them back. but it would be a big public debate, obviously, to do that. >> host: well, let's talk about religion's place in the public square, specifically christianity's. according to polling from pew, you know, 78% of americans identify themselves as christians, and in washington we have public displays for christmas in a national christmas tree and that sort of thing. but you see challenges in the public square for the christian faith. >> guest: yeah. and there are -- is it still called the christmas tree in washingtonsome yes, it is.
