Podcast appearances and mentions of Emanuel S Heller

Join America's Roundtable co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy for a conversation with special guest John Yoo, Visiting Fellow, Hoover Institution, Stanford University, Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law, University of California–Berkeley School of Law, a Visiting Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, and Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General, US Department of Justice, where he worked on national security and terrorism issues after the September 11 attacks. The conversation elevates patriotic thoughts and highlights America's founding in 1776 and the advancement of the great cause of liberty. On America's Roundtable, John Yoo, Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy delve into the challenges we face in America, the push of socialism versus the American constitutional structure and how the founding generation emphasized decentralization and federalism while safeguarding checks and balances with an understanding that — "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." The discussion also brings to the forefront the growing China threat, the communist regime's cyber-attacks, the rising military threat and the "debt-trap diplomacy" impacting nations in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific region. John Yoo served as general counsel of the US Senate Judiciary Committee under its chairman, Orrin Hatch of Utah. And he has been a law clerk for Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas and US Court of Appeals judge Laurence Silberman. Socialism vs. The American Constitutional Structure: The Advantages Of Decentralization And Federalism | John Yoo Socialism is finally getting the American honeymoon it never got in the last century. But American federalism's division of power between a national government and fifty sovereign states makes difficult, if not impossible, the unified economic planning necessary to supplant capitalism. Decentralization of power, the Constitution's Framers hoped, would not just promote government effectiveness but would also protect individual liberty by encouraging Washington and the states to check each other. Our Constitution's fundamental decentralization of power does not prevent many Americans from wishing for socialism anyway. A 2019 Gallup poll found that 43 percent of adults believed socialism to be “a good thing” and 47 percent even reported that they could vote for a socialist candidate for president. While a bare majority still opposes socialism, that view loses popularity among younger Americans. Since 2010, their attitude toward capitalism has deteriorated to the point that millennials view both capitalism and socialism with equal favor at about 50 percent. That contrasts with baby boomers, who support capitalism over socialism by 68–32 percent, and Gen Xers, whose support is 61–39 percent.

On November 15, 2019, the Federalist Society's International & National Security Law Practice Group hosted a panel for the 2019 National Lawyers Convention at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC. The panel discussed "Economic Law & Policy as a tool of National Security".Since the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. has shifted from large-scale military interventions to the use of economic levers such as tariffs, sanctions, export/import controls, and renegotiating trade agreements to address national security challenges including great power rivals, rogue nations engaging in nuclear proliferation, terrorism, and immigration. Our panel of experts will discuss the efficacy and sustainability of this approach and whether an economic-oriented national security policy is likely to advance U.S. interests abroad.*******As always, the Federalist Society takes no position on particular legal or public policy issues; all expressions of opinion are those of the speakers.Featuring:Hon.

Steve is joined by John Yoo, Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley and visiting scholar at the American Enterprise Institute.

In 2005, the U.S. and Israel allegedly used a computer virus (Stuxnet) to hobble the Iranian nuclear program. The U.S. is believed to operate over 7,362 unmanned aerial systems (UAVs). Many decry Russia’s “weaponization” of the internet and social media to interfere with elections. What’s in store for the future of technology and warfare? How do these weapons change how we think about the costs and benefits of military intervention? Professor John Yoo recently co-authored a new book: Striking Power: How Cyber, Robots, and Space Weapons Change the Rules for War. The book explores how these new weapons change the rules of warfare. Professor Yoo notes that these weapons may become a better solution than other alternatives because new weapons can be more effective and minimize harm. Professor Yoo is currently the Emanuel S. Heller Professor of Law at the University of California, Berkeley. He was also appointed as the Deputy Assistant U.S. Attorney General during the Bush Administration.

Threats to international peace and security include the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, rogue nations, and international terrorism. In Striking Power, Professor Jeremy Rabkin and Professor John Yoo argue that the United States must respond to these challenges to its national security and to world stability by embracing new military technologies such as drones, autonomous robots, and cyber weapons. These weapons can provide more precise, less destructive means to coerce opponents to stop WMD proliferation, clamp down on terrorism, or end humanitarian disasters. Efforts to constrain new military technologies are not only doomed, Rabkin and Yoo argue, but dangerous. Most weapons in themselves are not good or evil; their morality turns on the motives and purposes for the war itself. These new weapons can send a strong message without death or severe personal injury, and as a result can make war less, rather than more, destructive.Vince Vitkowsky moderated a discussion with the authors of Striking Power about these issues and others.Featuring:Prof. Jeremy Rabkin, Professor of Law, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University Prof. John Yoo, Emanuel S.

In the first months of the new administration, multiple questions have arisen about President Donald Trump’s approach to executive power. Join us for a discussion that will focus on the White House’s policy on immigration. We will discuss the law and policy of the executive order suspending immigration from seven majority Muslim nations under the Immigration and Naturalization Act and the US Constitution. Does the president have the authority to build a wall along the US-Mexico border and tax Mexican imports or currency transfers to pay for it? What can the president do in the absence of legislative action and when and where does the judiciary step in? Has President Trump gone too far or simply not framed the orders correctly? Daniel Farber, Peter Schuck, and John Yoo, three of the nation’s leading legal scholars, respond to these questions and more, illuminating the limits of the executive power. As part of our "Engage" series, this event features a post-discussion Q&A, when you will have the chance to participate directly with the speaker and gain incredible insights that you won't get anywhere else.
