whether something is a good idea or a bad idea, the question is is it permissible by the united states constitution. much of what the federal government does is not permissible by the united states constitution. and a and it calls for limited government. as i said, i gave the madison quote and said in the federal's paper 45 that that the powers of the federal government are few and well-defined and restricted mostly to external affairs. those are the people in the states who are indefinite movers. now, i would like like to see where we have change the constitution to say, the federal government has unlimited powers. so what we have done is we have made changes in the constitution without having a constitutional amendment. the framers were wise, they gave us article five as a means to amend the constitution, but we do things now and we say the heck with the constitution. i think that is a big mistake. >> host: in your book, liberty versus versus tyranny you quote tom paine, government, even even in its best date is but a necessary evil in its worst date and intolerable. >> guest: that is absolutely

only one constitution worthying about, but one of the things that is distinctive about the united states constitution, it's not only that relative to other constitutions across the world it is undemocratic, but relative to 49 of the 50 other state of the constitutions it's undemocratic because 49 of the 50 constitutions include some role for direct democracy. federalist 63 is where publius makes it clear that there should be no direct role for we the people in governance. the only thing we should ever do at the national level is vote for incentives who will do our thinking for us who will make the decisions for us. if you -- say if you look at the states as well as, you know, other countries around the world including switzerland or new zealand which we don't view as crazy countries or within the united states i would like to focus on main and ohio rather than california because there's the widespread view that california is crazy where as nobody ever says this about main or ohio. democracy can be a pretty important safety valve. one of the things that explains the tremendous anger in contemporary am

obligation to figure out for themselves whether that violates the constitution before it ever gets to a lawsuit. the president of the united states who signs bills into law has the same oath and has an obligation to evaluate its constitutionality. every branch of government, every official of government takes an oath to the constitution. you know, to some degree, these issues need to be settled in the political process, through elections, not just through litigation. so i would say to you, you know, the mayor of new york made his pitch. and maybe in a few years, the voters won't like what the result has been. and maybe you'll get a new mayor with a different kind of perspective. but we can't cede all the power -- i say this as a federal judge -- all the responsibility and all the power to the courts to make the ultimate constitutional determinations. other branches have that responsibility, too.

in fact the notes sometimes are given an authoritative status in the construction of the united states constitution, which we're looking at, whether or not they either have that status or, more importantly, what that status might actually allow for, or mean. how did you discover that madison revised his notes? >> so, every -- there's hundreds and how much books written about the constitutional convention, and every single one of them tells the story that madison tells in his notes because it was the only version of what happened that makes it seem like an exciting drama and a play, and it's the only account we have. and when i began to write this book -- i have little kids and thought i'd write -- my first book took a lot of research, so my second book i thought i would just sit in my office and read the notes and tell the story of madison's version in the notes, and i became very interested in what the notes probably looked like on the day he finished writing them in 1787 because when the notes were finally published by dolly madison she mention that it were revised. everyone has known they were r

that, basically, this executive order is not in contradiction to a federal statute or the united states constitutionn course, on track to basically equal george w. bush in terms of the amount of executive orders during the course of eight years. just so people know, the emancipation proclamation was an executive order. but there are many executive orders that the supreme court looks at and says, no, no, you don't have the right to do this. this is what congress is supposed to do, or you need to go to the electorate to do it. so the first hurdle is that five of the nine justices have to say, okay, the president does have a right to tell people who have children who are citizens that they don't have to leave the country. then making that happen, and that goes back to the end of our conversation. if obama does not allow hillary to run, you throw this right out window. trump hates it, cruz hates it. and those are two big names right now. if they come in, all that work is gone. sandra: but still we're talking about because we're always talking about the l word, president obama's legacy. means everything,
