thurgood marshall and one of his opinions, one of his defense, he said that if america had done what it was supposed to have done during this time. come he doesn't cite andrew johnson talks about his reconstruction. at that point of sort of lost opportunity. and i think they you cannot name one person for all the good that happens all the bad that happens. but a president and this is my approach in the book. a president of the leader of the country as a symbolic leader. people in times of crisis, people don't look to the supreme court for the congress. there's too many of them. the president is the energy of the government and the president exercises actual leadership and symbolic leadership and the kind of leadership he exhibited during this time. it wasn't enough he didn't want everything all by himself, but he made it much more difficult for the right thing to be done and that's the real tragedy of this presidency. but again it's way more people should know about andrew johnson because i believe he felt jamaica's who we are today. think about land reform. and about the difference

thurgood marshall in one of his opinions, one of his dissents i believe it was and maybe it was in bocci he wrote, not sure was bocci but he said if america had done what it was supposed to have done during this time period he doesn't cite andrew johnson but he talks about this reconstruction period has appointed sort of lost opportunity, and i think that you cannot blame one person for all the good that happens oral the bad that happens. the president and this is my approach in the book, the president is the leader of the country, a symbolic leader. people in times of crisis, people don't look to the supreme court or the congress. there are too many of them. the president is the energy of the government and the president exercises actual leadership and symbolic leadership. and the kind of leadership that he exhibited during this time period matt wasn't enough to make -- he didn't run everything all by himself but he made it much more difficult for the right thing to be done, and that is the real tragedy i think of this presidency but again, that is why i think more people should know ab

wells and, to thurgood marshall and everybody else. but i am pleased to be at jay street. when i first came to congress -- [applause] exactly. that deserves a round of applause. as my fellow colleagues here know one voice about jewish positions including israel or american position known as aipac. there is nothing wrong with aipac. they should have their voice and they are very much pro-israel. but as most of you know, if you get three together, you'll have four different opinions at least. and i think in israel they had some quote about 1000 presidents or a billion presidents. and so, jewish people think for themselves. albert einstein said there were certain things that made him very proud to be part of the jewish people. part of that was searching for knowledge for its own sake. part of it was a great desire for justice. and another was describing for independence. and jewish people are historically educated, knowledgeable, concerned about justice and thriving for independence. that's what einstein thought industries. without it's hard to fathom at least one jewish orga

i am going to have to paraphrase a bit, but i believe that it was thurgood marshall that said this aslawyers, but i think that applies to all of us. a lawyer is either a social engineer or a social parasite. it applies to all of us. you are either concern of -- over the greater good or the greater greed. it is quite obvious to me that the prior guest from the heritage foundation and those in the u.s. chamber of commerce are not concerned about the greater good, they are concerned with the greater greed. more concerned with the profits of nationalists. regardless of what their products due to the public. the public are just peons. that is told to was by the economic philosophy of trickle- down. if we are injured, it is just collateral damage. caller: first of all, i want to make sure that consumers have accurate data. there is nothing worse than the government running apple bloa b. i have heard your guest id you talk about this as republicans opposing this. i proposed an amendment that received a bipartisan support. a number of democrats joined me in their concern over the consumer pro

strict constructionists, as thurgood marshall said at an event celebrating the 200th anniversary of the writing of the constitution, quote, believe that the meaning of the constitution was fixed at the philadelphia convention. that would require us to know their original intent and rythedly preserve the founding fathers' philosophy. even though they were all men, most were slave holders and they allowed slavery in the constitution. a strict constructionist interpretation of the constitution also means a reaffirmation of states rights as the preeminent legal guiding principle. a broad interpretation on the other hand sees the constitution as forward looking, as living, as positive and a hopeful document. we respect the past and the positive contributions that the founders made. we seek to understand their intent in the full context in which the constitution was written. and we seek to understand to the fullest its original meaning. bewith you also know that it has been changed and it's been improved along the way. and in order to be more inclusive all of the american people, therefore we
