Ho of the Fifth Circuit will deliver our 16th Joseph Story Distinguished Lecture titled "Pressure Is a Privilege: Judges, Umpires, and Ignoring the Booing of the Crowd."The namesake of the lecture—the eminent jurist Joseph Story—became the youngest Associate Justice ever to serve on the United States Supreme Court when he was appointed by President Madison in 1812. Story made a significant mark on American law in his thirty-three years on the bench, but his greatest contribution to jurisprudence is his renowned Commentaries on the Constitution, in which he set forth a philosophy of judicial restraint.

Author and journalist Michael Dolan joins Tim to tell the story of the American front porch. He's the editor of American History magazine and the author of a book entitled, “The American Porch: An informal history of an informal place.” In this episode, he talks about how the front porch shaped life in America for well over 200 years. You could say that when it comes to our homes, the front porch was the original social media. This encore episode was originally released May 24, 2021. https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/shapingopinion/Encore_-_Americas_Front_Porch.mp3 It's probably something you may not think about much, even if you have one on your home and you walk across it a few times every day. The front porch. But did you ever wonder what your life would be like if you didn't have one? Or, on the other hand, if you are one of millions of Americans who don't have a front porch, did you ever wonder what your life would be like if you did have one? It's not an understatement to say that in neighborhoods with front porches, the social dynamics between and among neighbors are different than they are in neighborhoods without them. And most certainly those same social dynamics are different today, than they were many years ago, when it was just assumed your home would have a front porch, and that would be the place you would spend your time between your private world and the public world.

His articles have run in Smithsonian, The New Republic, The New Yorker, Outside, and The New York Times Magazine, among others. His 1987 Washington City Paper story about Judge Robert Bork's video rentals caused a furor leading Congress to enact the federal Video Privacy Protection Act of 1988. Between 1983 and 1995, he and his wife renovated a 1920s-era bungalow in a DC neighborhood near the Potomac River. The final step of that process replaced a careworn front porch with one that he designed. The results of that project inspired his 2002 book, The American Porch: An Informal History of an Informal Place.

How will Amy Coney Barrett shake things up on the bench if she is confirmed by the Senate before November 3? “Amy Coney Barrett will not be as revolutionary as the left fears or the right wishes,” Sarah argues, “Because no justice really is, because it’s one vote.” On today’s episode, David and Sarah address the hysteria surrounding her upcoming Senate confirmation battle while breaking down what a 6-3 conservative majority would mean for the future of Supreme Court jurisprudence. Sarah and David are also joined by Ilya Shapiro—director of the Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies at the Cato Institute and publisher of the Cato Supreme Court Review—for a conversation about the politics and history of Supreme Court nominations. To a certain degree, politics has always played a role in Supreme Court nominations. What makes this era unique? “What’s different is that you have divergent interpretive theories mapping onto partisan preference at a time when the parties are more ideologically sorted than they’ve been since at least the Civil War,” Shapiro argues. When it comes to divergent legal theories, “every decade provides a new escalation.” Tune in for a conversation about the future of First and Second Amendment jurisprudence, the left’s misconceptions surrounding Roe v. Wade, and the problems associated with public hearings for judicial nominations.

16 June 2019 The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity John 16:12-15 + Homily 16 Minutes 30 Seconds Link to the Readings: http://www.usccb.org/bible/readings/061619.cfm (New American Bible, Revised Edition) From the parish bulletin:   An epitaph on the tomb of Bishop Miler Magrath of Cashel in Ireland (d. 1622) reads: “Here where I am placed I am not. I am not where I am not. Nor am I in both places, but I am in each.” His problem was that he had called himself a Catholic bishop as well as a Protestant bishop. Bishop Magrath’s ingenuity for rationalizing brings to mind his contemporary in England, Simon Aleyn, who was unable to maintain the duplicity of practicing two religions at the same time. To retain his position as vicar of an affluent parish in Berkshire, whatever might be the religion of the reigning monarch, he declared himself consecutively Protestant, Catholic, Protestant, and Catholic again, inspiring a caustic ballad:               And this is law, I will maintain       Unto my Dying Day, Sir.       That whatsoever King may reign,       I will be the Vicar of Bray, Sir!      There is a political parallel to this malleability in a former Vice President who has decided to run for the actual Presidency as a Catholic independent of the strictures of Catholicism. As Vice President, he officiated at the civil “marriage” of two men in 2016, although he had voted for the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. In 2006 he threatened that if anyone said he was not Catholic, “I’m gonna shove my rosary beads down their throat.” The Bishop of Cashel and the Vicar of Bray could not have said it more eloquently.    Recently, this candidate reversed overnight his longstanding support of the Hyde Amendment, which blocks federal subsidies for abortions. We remember the United States senator who said in 2004 that he voted for a bill before he voted against it, and the Australian senator who explained her position on a tax-cut proposal in 2018: “I said no originally, then I said yes. Then I have said no, and I've stuck to it."    For Bismarck, “Politics is the art of the possible, the attainable – the art of the next best.” I was fortunate to know Congressman Henry Hyde, who counted his amendment his greatest achievement, and I also knew Judge Robert Bork who was slandered by the rancorous attacks of the aforementioned vice president. Both were aware that no one can survive in public life if he naively denies that situations can require compromise and even reversals. But they also knew that when the flip-flop is a matter of life or death, accommodation takes on an ominous character.    The Bourbon King Henry IV, baptized Catholic but reared Protestant and the champion of a Protestant army, became king of France by cutting a deal: he would declare himself Catholic. “Paris vaut bien une messe.” He decided that Paris was well worth a Mass, but the Church does not consider him worthy of sainthood. Less saintly is anyone who calculates that Washington, D.C. is worth more than a Mass.      NOTE:    A fuller version of this topic may be found by clicking the attached link to Crisis Magazine: https://www.crisismagazine.com/2019/the-strange-case-of-dr-biden-and-mr-hyde

In 1987, Judge Robert Bork had his career and reputation severely damaged by U.S. senators led by Ted Kennedy preaching sanctimoniously to Judge Bork and denouncing him for imperiling the lives of women.  This, less than 20 years after Kennedy had killed Mary Jo Kopechne.

In 1978, Judge Robert Bork published the book The Antitrust Paradox. The Antitrust Paradox has become one of the most influential authorities on antitrust policy, changing the landscape of American antitrust law forever. Since its publication, The Antitrust Paradox has been cited by over 100 different United States courts, and its reasoning has often been adopted by the Supreme Court of the United States. Judge Bork argued the original intent of the Sherman Act and other American antitrust laws was to protect competition itself rather than consumers. The result of this flawed approach was certain market practices such as vertical integration and price discrimination, which posed no threat to consumers, were still outlawed in favor of competition, even if this competition lead to an overall harm to the consumer. Instead, Judge Bork advocated for a consumer welfare standard, where violations of antitrust law would be measured solely by their affect on consumers. Jude Bork’s articulation of these principles in The Antitrust Paradox had a lasting impact that can be felt in antitrust law to this day.Featuring: Susan Creighton, Partner, Co-Chair, antitrust practice, Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & RosatiAndrew Finch, Principal Deputy Attorney General, Antitrust Division, Department of JusticeCharles (Rick) Rule, Co-Chair, Antitrust Group, Paul|WeissHon.
