wilkinson and burr together -- let me just tell one story about wilkinson. it gives you a flavor for him. when the louisiana purchase was being handed over to the americans by the french, there was a ceremony in new orleans, and jefferson sent general wilkinson down there to receive of the transfer. there was to be a big ball at night to celebrate, to mark the occasion. many of the people in the new orleans area were french-speaking people, they were called creoles. they were very unhappy at the prospect of becoming part of the united states. it was a foreign country to them, it had a foreign language, foreign legal system, foreign culture. and there was a lot of resentment. so to try to taper things over, they told the orchestra for this event to play, first, one french song and then an english -- american song, and then a french song and then an american song. so they started to do that, and then general wilkinson got a little liquored up, and he demanded they play two american socks in a -- songs in a row. he's the general, so, you know, what are you goin

andrew wilkinson is still with us.w, it likes we might of a pause, i hesitate to say this, a pause for the rest of the summer, what do you think? >> yeah, i think it's extremely smart. i sat through the press conference last week on thursday and i was -- i was surprised at the market's reaction. everybody in the room with mario draghi was telling him the market was reacting badly to what he said and i didn't get that. then on friday, you know, the yield kept starting to move in the right direction. what we need out of the european markets is to get the short term yields down. i'm talking about the two year. this is exactly what draghi is talking about doing. so, yeah, i would agree that he could have pulled it off. if he can get the two year yields down it will filter through in terms of confidence. you'll attract bond buying and the ten year will come down as well. once you get out of that, that glacial gaze where investors are just sitting there like rabbits looking into the head lamps i think you can make some real

judge wilkinson regarded that as a, you know, an example of right-wing activism. so, you know, we've got it on all sides, and i think the health care case is really a chance for the conservatives on the court to disavow the kind of activism that would have judges substitute their own policy judgments for what i think are the pretty clear commands of the constitution's text in history and the court's own presence dense. it's really an interesting test for them, and i think that people like judge wilkinson or, you know, just individuals look at the court across the entire spectrum and be willing to call out undue activism when they see it, i think it's an interesting conversation to be having right now. you want to come up to the mic, that'd be good. >> i can speak quite loudly. is that all right? >> i think, actually, you know, c-span is recording this. >> thank you, first, for your expose. it was very helpful. when you were talking about kennedy v. louisiana and the fact that the justices were unaware of a law that congress had passed, i may have missed the timing

joining us is andrew wilkinson. good morning to you. i wonder if we spent all week waiting for bernanke only for him to say very little. >> well, yes. i think that's the general tone of the speculation that people are not expecting him to say too much. i think recently the last couple of occasions bernanke has spoken, he's kind of failed to endorse there's further stimulus. we need to look back at the recent minutes from the august 1st conclusion of the fmoc to realize a lot of investors were caught offguard somewhat by the tone of the minutes. many more members of the fmoc's decision-making council were in favor of further stimulus at some point and they actually mentioned the phrase qe3. which hasn't been brought to the fore before. what's going on is the u.s. economy has slowed sharply on account of events in the eurozone. as you just mentioned that's still washing up in the eurozone data. u.s. economy is less, you know, is not in such good condition to weather the storm should there be another shot to the system. what bernanke will
