Joel Griffith joins Tim to talk about how America will get back to work in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and related quarantines across the country. Joel is a research fellow for the Institute for Economic Freedom and Opportunity at The Heritage Foundation. In this episode we look ahead to what's possible and exactly how the country can get its economy back on its feet and humming again. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/Restarting_the_Economy_auphnic.mp3   The unemployment rolls are growing. Millions are out of work. Millions of businesses, large and small have been shuttered, at least for the time being. People who were at first worried that they could become infected with the COVID-19 virus as now worried if they will have a job to go back to in the not too distant future. As the shutdowns drag on, those worries intensify, and people who are complicit in social distancing directives from their governors and federal officials are getting more restless. They want to get back to work. They want a plan. They want to know what's next and they want it to be soon. For many, it's really not a matter of “want.” They need the process for restarting the economy to commence as soon as possible. For their families and their financial futures. They need answers. Joel Griffith may have a few. He's a research fellow for the Institute for Economic Freedom and Opportunity at The Heritage Foundation, and he's been spending a good deal of time lately talking to cable news anchors about this very issue. One of the things he observes in many of his conversations is that many people often forget that there is a major psychological component when the subject is economics.

On June 18, 2019, the Federalist Society's Article I Initiative and Regulatory Transparency Project hosted a panel on "Agency Rulemaking: Unnecessary Delegation or Indispensable Assistance?" at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.In his recent article, “Strategic Institutional Positioning: How We Have Come to Generate Environmental Law Without Congress,” published in the Texas A&M Law Review, Donald Kochan lays out the argument that delegation of authority to agencies serves the interests of both sides of Congress. Those ostensibly elected to oppose further regulation can argue that any proposed rule changes are out of their control. Conversely, representatives elected to increase regulation can blame agency heads for not following the intent of the authorizing statute. However, both sides avoid blame by the electorate.What are the advantages and disadvantages of such a system? Should specialized bureaucrats do the lion’s share of rulemaking? Or should elected Senators and Congressman, often without the same level of expertise, write the rules that govern our nation?Featuring:Andrew Grossman, Partner, Baker & Hostetler LLP and Adjunct Scholar, The Cato InstituteProf. Donald Kochan, Professor in Law and the Associate Dean for Research & Faculty Development, Chapman University Dale E.

President Trump's administration has helped renew interest in federalism among Democrats and liberals.

How should federalism affect “moral” issues like abortion, traditional marriage, and state RFRA laws? What about the intersection of equal protection and religious liberties? Should pro-life state attorneys general, for example, file lawsuits against abortion providers like Planned Parenthood? Is religious faith and morality inherently in tension with fidelity to the rule law? -- This debate was part of the 2016 Annual Western Chapters Conference at The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, CA on January 30, 2016. -- Featuring: Prof. John Eastman, Dale E. Fowler School of Law, Chapman University and Prof. Marci Hamilton, Paul R. Verkuil Chair in Public Law, Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, Yeshiva University. Moderator: Hon. Carlos Bea, U.S. Court of Appeals, 9th Circuit. Introduction: Mr. Joel Ard, Member, Foster Pepper PLLC.
