and the third thing he taught justice thomas, and encoding justice thomas as i recount in the book, is not to be enslaved to the views that others will assign him, but to find his own views through study and education. and those three things i think come back threat justice thomas' career and shine through. >> host: your honor, i have to say this is a book about a lot and it's a book about justice thomas is jurisprudence and it's about originalism, but it's exceedingly readable to nonlawyers. everybody i've seen interview you has raised this and i think it's because you did a really good job writing on this. the reason why i think it's a readable for nonlawyers is that you focus on the people involved in these cases. as reported myself with that focus on the people, to come because that makes it interesting for our readers. can you just talk a bit about your approach to writing generally? >> guest: yeah. john, candidly you write much better than we often do, and if they that we get trapped in the law. i often tell my law clerks, and law school you learn to talk and write like a lawyer

thomas was that way, too. he really did understand topography understood that meant forest understood the lay of the land if you want to see somebody that didn't really have but six months to form an education and no formal military training but understood what terrain and how to use it and what took they use it to the best advantage. nathan bedford forrest was one of those people. so then sherman to sherman, of course would say, i know georgia better than joe johnston because he had spent time before the in georgia. other questions, you know well again thank you so much if you're ever in kennesaw come see us i have some fliers for our next also a book list for books that if you want some that aren't out here that i'll be glad to mail you. so come see me afterwards and thanks again. i really enjoyed being here. it is my great pleasure to introduce you to michael schoeppner. dr. michael schoeppner is an associate professor of history at the university of maine in farmington. he's an expert on the social and leg

i want to get to your concerns about another justice, justice clarence thomas in just a moment. but as the supreme court is taking up now this very important case on the 14th amendment, trump's attorney, specifically called out justice bret kavanaugh as the reason that trump will win this colorado case before the court. she is citing in part that trump appointed him, even going as far as calling it a slam dunk. what message do you hear in what she had to say? >> this is like a mob family who is sending a message to someone who you have, you think you have some control over. it's a very clear message as to what donald trump expects from brett kavanaugh because he nominated him to the supreme court. and it's a part of the reason why all of this is so unprecedented. it's remarkable to have someone who's hoping to get on the ballot. that determination is going to be made by supreme court justices, three of whom he appointed. but it is a complicated morale. at the end of the day unless there is any further indication, we have to take faith that justice kavanaugh will abide by his oat

some of those the documents included emails between eastman and jenni thomas, clarence thomas his wife. clarence thomas did recuse himself in that case. there is a federal law that requires a judge recuse themselves when there might be some reasonable question as to the appearance of impartiality. that includes instances where for example they might reasonably believe that their spouse could be a material witness in the case and again, jenni thomas is someone who had medications with someone like mark meadows about efforts to reserve reverse the results of the election, had medications with john eastman and someone who was at the january 6th rally add trump's speech. it certainly is a case that there is a colorful argument here that she could be someone who might be a material witness as it relates to the department of justice case against trump. there is a argument for clarence thomas's recusal based on all of that. there are some signs that we have seen that potentially clarence thomas will not recuse. there was a supreme court petition brought by special counsel jack smith in relati

i will read from thatjudgment. " mr thomas . from thatjudgment. " mr thomas worked as a postman between992. he became a sub—postmaster in 1994. in september the 29th, 2006 he pleaded guilty to one count of false accounting. mr thomas's written basis of plea stated that no plane was attached to horizon, and that he accepted there was a shortage which he was contractually obliged to make good, but he did not know how it had come about. the post office accepts that this was an unexplained shortfall case and that evidence from horizon was essential to mr thomas's case. mr thomas has stated he was having problems with horizon, in particular his online banking report showed several transactions with a nail amount. these were occasions when he paid money to a customer, but the system did not record the value of that transaction. this led to losses, so he altered the cash on hand figures to balance the accounts. in his interview on percussion, mrthomas accounts. in his interview on percussion, mr thomas of the alleged loss was due to mistakes in horizon and that he did not understand the system

. >> your co-counsel says you don't plan to ask justice thomas to recuse himself. the reason this would be on the table potentially is because justice thomas' wife played a role in the january 6th insurrection in supporting it. does that mean that you're comfortable with that? you think that it won't play a role in your case? >> we're confident based on the facts we know, that a motion to recuse, a request to recuse is not appropriate at this time. we have every confidence that every member of the court will look at the facts and the law carefully, apply the law, and we're comfortable with the outcome. >> eric olsen, thank you very much for joining us tonight. >> thanks, abby, happy to be here. >>> joining me is democratic congressman dan goldman of new york. he is on the house oversight committee. and was lead majority counsel in the first impeachment inquiry against former president trump. congressman goldman, thanks for joining us tonight. i want to get to your concerns about another justice, justice clarence thomas in just a moment. but as the supreme court is

i want to get to that issue of justice thomas here.e for recusal? democrat, republican, a spouse is openly supported a political candidate. >> happy new year to you and everybody. first, no one has shown that justice thomas has ever had a conflict of interest, and that means sitting on a case where you have some kind of interest. there have been 30 years of attacks on justice thomas from the day he was nominated to the supreme court, to today. it is part of this left-wing attack on the court itself. this is the left that tried to pack the court, that welcomed the leaking of the dobbs abortion case. it led to protests in front of justices' houses, that led to an assassination attempt, and all these ethics complaints and investigations of the supreme court justices. not one has shown that justice thomas ever sat on any case where he had a personal interest. certainly, to your direct question, there's never been anything about his wife's career. the one we've got some audio problems. anita, if you look at what's going on right here, it's

one just weeks ago, the unpopular felt really as welcome to the program, the war between israel and thomas is entering its hundreds a day the fighting erupt. after is let me submit a group homicide. launched a terrorist attack on israel on october 7th. israel responded with air strikes and a ground invasion of the gaza strip. since then, the tow has been devastated. around 1200 people, including 520 soldiers of being killed on these riley side, most of them on the 1st day, making october 7th, the deadliest day since the finding of the jewish state. the homicide run health ministry in gaza says almost 24000 palestinians have been killed. many of them women and children is randy made latrice as more than $7000.00 of the dead are militants. the un says at least 300 polished indians have been killed in the west bank. as israel's military campaign has damaged or destroyed around half of guys has buildings and displaced almost 2000000 people. so miss riley's have died. so by the way, the war is being carried out, but israel has 5 to press on with it to military campaign to eliminate thomas. for

he' killed in the thomas farm fields.eventually ends up happening as these 35 union or confederate cannon start to tell on the union battle line, they've been pushed up to the front and they start to inflate, fire their the union positions. so if you if you are a union soldier, you've got no choice but to flee. and so the union battle does begin to start buckle and break. ironically enough,he last bridge to fall is the one held by the least experienced soldiers. the ohio national guard and the potomac home brigade are the ts to fall back off the field. i know it looks like antietam, but this is a sketch in the 1890s of the stone stone bridge at monocacy. tyler's men hold off long enough for ricketts, his men, to retreat behind him. and then tyler pulls out and the growing dusk. so we've got our two bridges, right? we've the burnt covered bridge. we've the stone bridge. that's our last. our last bridge. what about george davis and his merry band of skirmishes? we come back to the bridge that started it all the only way acr

so rosecrans was out and grant names thomas the new commander of the army of the cumberland when wordas telegraphed to thomas in chattanooga that he would be the new commander, his response was and bryan knows this well, i will hold the town till we starve, says the rock of chickamauga so grant in stevenson on october 21st and meets with rosecrans, who is on his way home to cincinnati, rosecrans explains the plan that had been developed to lift the siege. grant listened very intently to this and wondered privately why rosecrans didn't it? becausit seemed to him a pretty plan. the plan had actually been developed by william f baldy smith. a lot of a lot of people from the eastern theater in this in this talk this morning. smith, you might remember, was a division and corps commander in the army of. the potomac had gotten crosswise and his position in that army and then was sent down to a position to get a position in therosecrans who didn't want tot him in a line position. rosecrans said, well, you can be the chief engineer of the army and smith was the fellow who developed the plan. a

and for some more insight in all this, i'm drawing by due to view political correspond, thomas sparrow, and thomas, i can't remember ever seeing so many people demonstrating against the far right why such mobilization now essentially because people who are protesting see that they also have to react to those allegations to that secret, to a private meeting that was held in the belinda the reaction is not one that should only be left to the courts. if the alternative for germany party should be fined or not, or to the politicians, whether they react, that's a national or in regional part of months. that it should also come from society itself. and it's important here to stress that the, if the is pulling in germany at around 20 to 23 percent. and in the eastern part of the country and 3 regions where they will be elections. this the, the, if these actually leading in the polls. but there is a majority of people here in the country who do not necessarily view in a positive light. the policy is that the a, if the is defending and that's why basically the need to actually go to the streets

some industry campaign to eliminate thomas for the people of garza, the last 100 days had been nothing short of a disaster. the money of loss, not just the homes, livelihoods, and loved ones, but also any hope that life can ever return to normal. so we're kind of tragic to catastrophic, indescribable situation. everyone's will thousands of boxes and wounded. those would not. multitude were wounded. who wasn't wounded, had the home destroyed. those who didn't lose their homes. what displays? no one in gaza has been on touched by the conflict. this families say they used to be wealthy, but like thousands of all the gardens, they've been forced to flee. and now they're making pastries to survive. couldn't the hey, i shouldn't get 100 days ago. we were living in power dice on a bad. we have buildings, houses, and possessions. we enjoyed a wonderful luxurious life since the thoughts of the will. we brought everything, a homes of possessions. everything in israel to the pain is real. despite efforts to chase it away at this rate until the v, it's one of the number of events taking place to m

thomas jefferson, you said when did they say thomas? oh, son, no. george washington. well, i don't think it's a myth. i think it's true. it must be really a must. the scent is sold at our shops. ladies and gentlemen, it's the perfect gift for the person who you want to smell like george washington. and we also have the soaps made as well. so the george washington soap in the middle six. oh, i lovely job it is lovely i'm kennedy okay the jockey club very good and eisenhower as well so the presidential but for the discriminating man for those of you we purchased at mount vernon shops online or in-person thank you very very much. yeah thank thank you. thank morning, everyone. welcome. hi. we are looking at the church and colonial california today. so, as usual, i have our whole road map for the whole week.

it's called goodness, gracious thomas. as you well know, there are increasing cost of band the a f d the far right f d i should keep repeating altogether. is that even feasible? is it realistic? well feasible. yes, it is something that is actually content dated in the german constitution that of potty can be banned if it is confirmed that it's a threat to german democracy in a direct actions that demonstrate that fact. but it's a very difficult title only twice. in postwar, german history of poverty has been, bonded was both in the 1950s calls to bind. for example, the neo nazi and p d. parties failed in recent times. so it is something that can happen. the question whether it will happen is a different one. and there are many here discussing that it would actually benefits the a if they do have such a lengthy process where they would, they would be in the news all the time with people would be discussing that. and where the success at the end is not necessarily guaranteed because we've seen examples in the past where it t

so this attack and the fighting on the on the thomas farm.f fighting in the io man is specifically start to fall back. this is a keith rocco portrait fighting at thomas farm lasts 90 minutes from about 330 to 5:00 in the evening on july 9th, 1864. and when we talk about 1864, everyone has in their mind entrenchment and digging in and rifle pits, not here. there's no time and. so this fighting on the thomas farm is a stand up, knock down brawl between two of the most experienced fighting units. either army has to offer in these 90 minutes of combat, there'll be one casualty every 5 seconds. right. the majority of the battles casualties come in this field. casualties are not just restricted to. the confederates. right. we've got some union casualties. the ninth new york heavy artillery suffers the most losses of any union regiment at the battle of monocacy their commanding officer is william seward jr. he's the secretary state's son. his horse is killed beneath him. it rolls over his ankle and breaks his foot. right. so he's off the battlefield

thomas: i would not say that.e have a regional banking system and a leveraged economic system in the united states. something could go wrong easy with rates and loss of confidence. they have to work their way through this and that is what they are doing, carefully, cautiously. hopefully, they get through this by the end of this year or next year. then they might be able to declare victory, not now. that would be way premature. annabelle: there has been debate as to whether the last mile of disinflation is more arduous than the rest. where you stand on that? thomas: i think it is. a lot of the inflation taken out of the u.s. and world economy has been the cause of supply disruptions have been addressed and we are in better shape on the supply side. now you have basically primarily demand driven inflation that continues. we have strong wage gains in the u.s.. we still have inflation in services particularly. that might also increase in goods. there's a lot of inflationary pressure on the sidelines now. if the fed we

i said, and justice thomas, if i may. and more than two decades of arguing before you, i've been waiting for this case because it speaks to your method of constitutional interpretation. the original understanding of the document and here are the four things you need to know. articles of confederation, madison, this and that. and that got me several minutes to talk about that. and i think that's how we won the case is by focusing on the original understanding. it was a 6 to 2 decision on that question. justice thomas dissent dissent. i mean, i. judge let us now take up the second of the big categories of cases you identified, and that is the future of the administrative state. just this term, the court is going to decide whether or not to overturn a decision called the chevron case. you gave a really powerful talk to the american philosophical society where you said that this decision about whether to overturn chevron could fundamentally transform the relationship between the judiciary and its evaluation of executive regul
