OA1087 - We examine how the incoming President and his administration are already breaking the law with his transition team before taking on his announced intention to subvert the Constitution--and his own political party--through an unprecedented clown car of forced recess appointments. From the Defense Secretary the National Guard determined they couldn't trust with a gun around Joe Biden to the Attorney General who just resigned from Congress to avoid the details of what he has been doing with high school students to the deputy chief of staff who is Stephen Miller, there are plenty of good reasons these freaks might not clear even a Republican Senate. Could this one weird Constitutional trick force them through?  Finally, the world's richest man wants to tell the federal government how to spend its money.

At least since the movie Inherit the Wind butchered the history of the 1925 Scopes “monkey trial,” many Americans—especially those on the left side of the political spectrum—have cherished a kind of myth about national debates being settled in dramatic courtroom clashes. In reality, they seldom are. However, that doesn't stop idealistic plaintiffs from trying.   The most recent controversy dragged before a judge was whether the state of Montana could be held responsible for climate change. Earlier this month, Montana District Court Judge Kathy Seeley ruled that the state's failure to take climate change into account when greenlighting new oil and coal projects was unconstitutional. The plaintiffs were a group of young people called Our Children's Trust. They sued the state over fossil fuel production, claiming that Montana violated a section of its constitution that guarantees citizens “the right to a clean and healthful environment.”  Climate activists have hailed the decision as a significant victory and model for the nation but have not been clear on what exactly has been accomplished. As The New York Times put it, unless a higher court overturns the ruling, Montana must now “consider climate change when deciding whether to approve or renew fossil fuel projects.” That's all. They must “consider.”  Ed Whelan at National Review concluded that the impact of this “Children's Crusade to defeat climate change” on actual energy production and carbon emissions “might well be zero.” Perhaps future projects will involve a symbolic gesture, akin to the so-called “land acknowledgments” commonly seen in academia and on recent episodes of Alone Australia. These rituals involve a speaker beginning by naming the Native American tribes on whose ancestral land they're standing. Of course, such acknowledgments, as Princeton's Robert George recently remarked, “do no one any good.” No one gets land back. No de-colonization takes place. There aren't any reparations. It's “just a cost-free form of moral preening.”  Few issues are more consistently plagued by this kind of cost-free preening than the debate over climate change, and not only in America. Last month, Spanish Climate Minister Teresa Ribera dramatically arrived at a European Union climate conference by bicycle. Photographers and reporters weren't supposed to find out that that she took a limo for most of the trip and only pedaled the last couple of blocks. But I'm sure Mother Earth was grateful.  Almost everything about the Montana case was similarly theatrical, from the 16 children recruited and presumed to have standing to sue the state, to its arbitrary nature. Why Montana, which produces a lot of oil and gas but has only about a million residents, rather than, say, California, which has about 40 times the population, creates a significant demand for that fuel, and emits vastly more CO2?   Answering that question requires speculation about people's motives. All of it certainly looks as if the primary goals of so much climate activism isn't to cool the planet, but to display superior virtue. At heart, it is not so different than the Pharisee from Jesus' parable, who loudly thanked God that he was not like other men.  It's true that we have a responsibility to leave our children a healthy planet, but the work required to do that won't be done in the courtroom of sparsely populated states or by bicycle photo ops. It will take place in the workshops and imaginations of engineers who come up with better and cleaner energy sources. It will take place in legislatures that have the will and the ability to lift restrictions on existing alternatives like nuclear energy. It will take place when those who say they care about the planet stop trying to locate the problem with someone else “out there” (usually in red, flyover states) and start recognizing their personal responsibility for both the problem and the solutions.   Most of all (and here we move beyond just the climate change debate), we need to recognize how unhealthy our addiction to “cost-free moral preening” is. It's a habit at the heart of so much we fight over, from mommy blogs and those annoying “we believe in” yard signs to pandemic posturing and presidential elections. The constant need to be better than “those people”—and to be seen being better—betrays a deep spiritual anxiety that no amount of political posturing can cure.  This Breakpoint was co-authored by Shane Morris.

Legal experts Mary Ziegler and Ed Whelan join Margaret Hoover to debate the constitutional issues raised by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's leaked draft opinion that would overturn the court's landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. Whelan, a former clerk for Justice Antonin Scalia, outlines the conservative argument against the notion of a constitutional right to abortion and calls Roe v. Wade an example of judicial activism. Ziegler, a legal historian and professor of constitutional law, says Alito's draft opinion is unnecessarily polarizing in tone and reach even for a court reversing Roe. The two attorneys look at what several of the justices said during their confirmation hearings about respect for precedent and address whether those past remarks are consistent with overturning Roe. With a final decision expected next month, Ziegler and Whelan offer competing takes on what the decision could mean for other issues such as same-sex marriage. If Alito's decision stands, the Supreme Court would return the question of abortion rights to the states. Ziegler and Whelan address current public sentiment on the issue, as well as the likelihood that the anti-abortion movement will now pursue a nationwide ban.

We were all taught in school, or through Constituting America's programs, that the US Constitution is the supreme law of the land.  But how is that supreme law to be interpreted? For example, what view do we take when the Constitution says the president must be a “natural born citizen?” What's the difference between originalism and living constitutionalism? Join our panel and constitutional expert Ed Whelan, Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, for this conversation as we wrap up our dive into the American Court System.

Amarica's Constitution is 50 - 50 episodes, that is.  The Supreme Court isn't done with abortion yet, as it marks our “silver episode” unveiling with a pair of rulings on the Texas abortion law, SB8.  The rulings themselves may not be long remembered, but the opinions contained sentences that shocked Professor Amar.  In a happy coincidence, the Friday rulings coincided with a Friday taping, and we happened to have a special guest - Ed Whelan, creator of the well-known “Bench Memos” legal blog and Distinguished Senior Fellow of the Ethics and Public Policy Center.  We dissect the very revealing statements by Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Sotomayor, and others, on an eventful day.

The Commission on Supreme Court expansion has issued its report, neither recommending nor rejecting an increased number of justices. Should liberals who are upset with the court's composition seek the appointment of more justices for "balance?" Former federal judges David Levi, Thomas Griffith, and Nancy Gertner weigh in. Legal scholars Ed Whelan and Jonathan Turley also contribute.

It is difficult to exaggerate Justice Antonin Scalia's outsized impact on American constitutional law. Originalism and textualism, the interpretive methods he championed throughout his career, are key themes in today's legal landscape thanks in large part to his elegant and witty defense of their merits. In this episode of Unprecedential, two former Scalia clerks, Sixth Circuit Judge https://fedsoc.org/contributors/jeffrey-sutton (Jeffrey Sutton) and the Ethics and Public Policy Center's president https://eppc.org/author/edward_whelan/ (Ed Whelan), join https://twitter.com/adamjwhitedc?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor (Adam) to talk about the recent compilation of Scalia's writings they edited, https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/602308/the-essential-scalia-by-antonin-scalia-edited-by-jeffrey-s-sutton-and-edward-whelan/ (The Essential Scalia: On the Constitution, the Courts, and the Rule of Law). Judge Sutton and Ed note that equally significant to Justice Scalia's legal acumen was his amiable character. They discuss with Adam their memories of his generous mentorship of them as clerks, and his affable spirit even to those with whom he dissented vehemently. Justice Scalia's playful disposition leaps out of his writings, providing his ideas with clarity, vividness, and pleasure uncommon in the legal profession. His faithfulness to originalism, as Judge Sutton and Ed point out, brought him both critics and admirers. But such principled jurisprudence is a sparkling example to all of judging at its very finest.

We listen in today to a special conversation on the Constitution and the U.S. Supreme Court between Ed Whelan, President of the Ethics & Public Policy Center and Steve Aden, Chief Legal Officer & General Counsel of Americans United for Life.

Ed Whelan will take a brief leave of absense from his conservative legal position, Kavanaugh will hurt the GOP in the midterms, the Dems look to be in an even better position and siblings turn on a GOP congressional candidate.

Ed Whelan will take a brief leave of absense from his conservative legal position, Kavanaugh will hurt the GOP in the midterms, the Dems look to be in an even better position and siblings turn on a GOP congressional candidate.

Matt, Virgil, and Will break down all the latest in the Kavanaugh saga including Ed Whelan and his DOA"doppleganger theory" but sadly all before we knew he was a virgin in HS. We then talk Beto vs Ted and issue a call to arms to the movie theaters, eateries and treat dispensaries of New York City. COME SEE US IN THE MIDWEST http://chapotraphouse.com/tour/

Jim Geraghty of National Review and Greg Corombos of Radio America dissect three crazy stories related to the confirmation battle over Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.  First, they're baffled by the normally measured legal expert Ed Whelan laying out a possible case of mistaken identity in the alleged assault of Christine Blasey Ford and even offering another name based on where he lived and the floor plan of his house.  They also roll their eyes as Ford's legal team makes a series of demands before testifying, including the absurd conditions of making Kavanaugh testify first and not allowing committee lawyers question their client.  And they shake their heads as President Trump, after a week of remaining remarkably silent on the issue, suggests on Twitter that Ford would have immediately told police if the attack on her was as bad as she says it was.

Where was Ed Whelan’s judgment when he began accusing one of Kavanaugh’s former classmates of the alleged attack? What is Christine Ford’s list of demands to the committee? If she testifies, and the nomination is derailed, what are the political implications for November? How has the GOP lost the messaging on Trump's tax cuts? Senior Political Analyst for the Washington Examiner, Michael Barone joins Dan and Amy to discuss.

In this episode of Summer Session, Ed Whelan joins Elizabeth to break down myths about SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh - from the Russia investigation to being a baseball fanatic. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this special edition of The Editors, Rich is joined by Ed Whelan to discuss the legacy of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and the political upheaval caused by his recent retirement.

When we think of constitutional law, we invariably focus on the U.S. Supreme Court and the federal court system. Yet much of our constitutional law is not made at the federal level. In 51 Imperfect Solutions, U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Jeffrey S. Sutton argues that American Constitutional Law should account for the role of the state courts and state constitutions, together with the federal courts and the federal constitution, in protecting individual liberties.51 Imperfect Solutions addresses four different areas of constitutional law: equal protection, criminal procedure, privacy, and free speech and free exercise of religion. Traditional accounts of these bedrock debates about the relationship of the individual to the state focus on decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court. But these are only part of the story. Judge Sutton corrects this omission by looking at each issue – and some others as well – through the lens of many constitutions, not one constitution; of many courts, not one court; and of all American judges, not federal or state judges. A central conviction of his work is that an under-appreciation of state constitutional law has hurt state and federal law and has undermined the appropriate balance between state and federal courts in protecting individual liberty. Several ideas for reform are also offered to correct this imbalance. Join us for an interesting and lively discussion with Judge Sutton on his new book, followed by comments by Ed Whelan.

Ed Whelan a former law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, has served in positions of responsibility in all three branches of the federal government. He is a regular contributor to National Review's The Corner and Bench Memo blogs and he serves as President of the Ethics and Public Policy Center. We discussed everything from the absurd (Democrats warning Republicans to be "exceedingly careful") to the now-infamous "wise Latina" comment to her ruling in the troubling New haven firefighetr case. Bottom line: Her judicial philosophy is troubling and she should be vigorously quesioned about it. That said, elctions have consequences, and someone like her on the court is one one of them. In Democrat circles, she is a mainstream jurist and will be confirmed, but not before what Krauthammer described as a "teachable moment' about the differneces between conservative and liberal judicial philosohy. What is Pundit Review Radio? Pundit Review Radio is where the old media meets the new. Each week we give voice to the work of the most influential leaders in the new media/citizen journalist revolution.
