he received his law degree from yale university. mr. park, glad to have you here. please go ahead, sir. and your whole statement will be made part of the record. >> mr. chairman, senator grassley, thank you for the opportunity to speak this morning on senate bill 1994. as i indicated, i have concerns about this bill because it raises serious constitutional questions and because it's under-inclusive, not because i have proof of or condone the use of deceptive practices, voter intimidation or both. the first point i would like to make is that before congress creates new tools for the department of justice and private individuals to use, it should encourage the use of the ones that are presently existing. those tools including section 11b of the voting rights act are generally underutilized and should be put to use before new criminal penalties are created. we're talking about regulating political speech which we know to be at the core of the first amendment's protection and we know that regulation chills speech. the bill under consideration may chill legitimate expre

there are different with all of them harold coe, the former dean of yale university.e was internally fighting battles to save people's lives. if you read the book, if you read the chapter largely about harold coe, you will see that he was willing to battle pretty hard to make sure we were only going after certain people where we had the legal authorities. but it's absolutely true. people go through transformations. his job in the government is different than when he is a professor at yale and he is in a more theoretical world. on the other hand, there is probably kind of a process of irrationalization say there is this momentum toward more violence in these cases. i think it's hard to resist. there was some resistance. you know, it's very difficult. >> it's a really really taling book daniel. thank you so much for joining us. i appreciate it. my last thought on it is a strong leader would have resisted. >> that's not the kind of leader we had. eventually going to say signature strikes. we don't know who we are killing? bomb away. it revolts me. all right. when we come

joining us now from new haven a professor of law and political science at yale university.at to have you. so you've written that essentially whether or not someone agrees with this politically it is a constitutionally sound law. how so? >> well, again there's a difference between whether you like the bill as a policy matter. i have some reservations about it and whether congress basically has the constitutional power to adopt it. i think it has so two different ways. most scholars agree with me, we'll see what the supreme court says. one basic argument which you've heard less about is that this is a revenue measure, a tax measure, and congress has very broad power, fundamental purpose of the federal government soto fund this operation and congress has very broad power to raise revenue. this provision according to the congressional budget office is estimated to bend down the cost curve by 100 billion with a b, $4 billion a year. it's easily able to be upheld as a taxing measure, as a revenue measure. second, it's a regulation of interstate commerce. here's the test. there re

akeel amar from yale university.member of mitt romney's policy group and writer for forbes and the national review. we are talking about health care in the wake of the supreme court decision. we had a fascinating argument with one of the architects of the arguments against the bill. we have moved into policy. we have been talking about the individual mandate. i just -- we have been talking about this. there are two questions about the mandate. there is the policy question about is it good policy, does it work? but then there is a political argument about disingenuousness, the sense of lucy and the football. you wanted a mandate. we say mandate and then you want a mandate. let's talk about the policy. is a mandate at any level, state, federal, is mandate good policy? >> yeah. i think if the mandate is used to justify buying generous comprehensive insurance it doesn't make sense. the free rider problem is really for only a limited amount of emergency care. you really want to create incentive for people to buy insurance

wonderful published collection of the franklin letters that is about 37 or 8 volumes published by yale university press and the american philosophical society. took them 50 years to publish it. now, volume one goes from franklin's birth until the age of 30. and it's about that thick. volume 8f that's -- 38, if that's the last one, is equally thick, and it covers three months. not three decades, but three months of franklin's life. why? because then he was world famous, people saved everything. so you can write about extraordinary people in ordinary times, you can write about ordinary people in extraordinary times. for example, you can write the ordinary person's history of the civil war. why? because it was sufficiently extraordinary that people wrote down what they were thinking and feeling. soldiers went off to war for have many of them in both the union and confederate armies, they'd never been away from home before, and they wanted to share that experience. or else they kept a diary, a journal. i wrote a book about the california gold rush. there is no lack of information about ordinary peopl
