Conversing
The Imbalance of Power, with Yuval Levin

Conversing

Unity is acting together even when we don't think alike. And one of the primary aims of the American Constitution is to support a democracy of those unified in diversity. Yuval Levin joins Mark Labberton to explore the precarious state of American constitutional life and the imbalance of power between the branches of the U.S. government. Drawing from his book America's Covenant, Levin argues that the Founders designed the Constitution above all to preserve unity in a divided society. Yet today, he warns, the imbalance of power—particularly the weakness of Congress and the rise of presidential authority—threatens democratic legitimacy. In this conversation, Levin reflects on originalism, the courts, Donald Trump's expanding influence, and the dangers of both passivity and autocracy. With clarity and urgency, he calls for renewed civic engagement and for Congress to reclaim its central role. Episode Highlights “Unity doesn't mean thinking alike. Unity means acting together. And the question for a modern political society is how do we act together when we don't think alike?” “The biggest problem we have is that Congress is under-active, radically under-active and has turned itself into a spectator.” “The president is in charge of the executive branch, but the executive branch is not in charge of the American government.” “I am very concerned about this kind of Caesar-ism. I think it is very dangerous.” “What we're seeing is constitutional creep, where the president is pushing and nobody's pushing back, and only Congress can do it.” “I worry a lot about Donald Trump. But the reason I worry is because Congress isn't doing its job.” “The politics of an autocratic state is a politics of spectators, and we just cannot become spectators.” “All of us will find ourselves in the minority sooner or later.” Helpful Links and Resources America's Covenant: The Constitution and the Path to National Unity, by Yuval Levin American Enterprise Institute (Find Yuval Levin's current research and publications) *New York Times Opinion* – Yuval Levin's columns at the New York Times About Yuval Levin Yuval Levin is director of Social, Cultural, and Constitutional Studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), where he also holds the Beth and Ravenel Curry Chair in Public Policy. He is the founder and editor of National Affairs, senior editor of The New Atlantis, a contributing editor at National Review, and a contributing opinion writer at The New York Times. He is the author of several books on political theory and public policy, most recently American Covenant: How the Constitution Unified Our Nation—and Could Again (Basic Books, 2024), which examines the U.S. Constitution through the lens of national unity in a divided society. Show Notes Constitutional unity and division Yuval Levin summarizes America's Covenant as a reintroduction to the Constitution framed around the challenge of unity in diversity. “Unity doesn't mean thinking alike. Unity means acting together.” The Constitution prioritizes bargaining, negotiation, and legitimacy over efficiency. Congress was designed as the “first branch” of government to embody pluralism and force compromise. The decline of Congress and rise of the presidency Levin argues Congress is radically under-active, ceding ground to presidents and courts. “The biggest problem we have is that Congress is under-active, radically under-active and has turned itself into a spectator.” Excessive focus on the presidency erodes democratic legitimacy. Current frustrations stem from misunderstanding the system's design: it resists narrow majorities and forces broad coalitions. Courts, originalism, and the unitary executive Levin affirms he is an originalist: “a philosophy of judicial interpretation … a mode of self-restraint for judges.” Supreme Court decisions in recent years repeatedly signal: “Congress, do your job.” He outlines the unitary executive theory: the president controls the executive branch, but not the government as a whole. “The president is in charge of the executive branch, but the executive branch is not in charge of the American government.” Trump's expanding power Levin warns of the growing push to centralize authority in the presidency. “I am very concerned about this kind of Caesar-ism. I think it is very dangerous.” Trump's second term differs because restraints have vanished; his circle now encourages unrestrained executive action. Disruption of long-held norms has weakened trust in American institutions globally and domestically. Constitutional crisis vs. constitutional creep Levin distinguishes between “creep,” “conflict,” and “crisis.” He argues the U.S. is experiencing constitutional creep: unchecked executive power without Congress pushing back. True crisis would involve direct defiance of the courts—something still possible but not yet realized. The role of citizens and civic responsibility Levin stresses the danger of passivity: “The politics of an autocratic state is a politics of spectators, and we just cannot become spectators.” Citizens should keep writing to Congress, vote with clear expectations, and engage in local governance. State legislatures, though less visible, often function better than Congress today. Clear thinking itself, Levin suggests, is a moral act for a healthy republic.

This lecture explores the role of the Supreme Court in the U.S. constitutional system, focusing primarily on the concept of judicial review, which allows the Court to invalidate laws and actions that conflict with the Constitution. It traces the development of this power, notably through the landmark case Marbury v. Madison, and discusses the limitations on the Court's authority, such as case or controversy jurisdiction and specific doctrines like standing and ripeness. The lecture also examines various methods of constitutional interpretation, including originalism and living constitutionalism, highlights key Supreme Court decisions, and analyzes the Court's relationship with other branches of government. Finally, it touches upon ongoing debates surrounding the judiciary, such as judicial activism versus restraint and the politicization of appointments, and mentions some proposed reforms.This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of judicial review in the U.S., emphasizing its foundational role in constitutional law. It explores the historical context, landmark cases, and the interplay between the Supreme Court and other branches of government. The discussion also delves into ongoing debates about the court's role, including judicial activism versus restraint, and potential reforms to the judicial system.TakeawaysJudicial review is the authority of the courts to examine the constitutionality of legislative acts and executive actions and to invalidate them if they conflict with the Constitution. This power maintains the Constitution's supremacy.In Marbury versus Madison, Chief Justice John Marshall declared that it is the duty of the judicial department to interpret the law, and when a law conflicts with the Constitution, the courts must uphold the Constitution as the superior law.Case or controversy jurisdiction requires the Supreme Court to only decide actual disputes between adverse parties. It prevents the Court from issuing advisory opinions or ruling on hypothetical questions.The standing doctrine requires that a party bringing a case have a concrete, particularized injury directly caused by the defendant's conduct and redressable by the court. It prevents courts from hearing generalized grievances.Originalism focuses on interpreting the Constitution according to its original public meaning at the time it was adopted. Proponents believe this constrains judicial discretion and preserves the text's fixed meaning.Living constitutionalism views the Constitution as a dynamic document that evolves to reflect changing societal values and conditions, ensuring it remains relevant to modern challenges. Originalism, in contrast, emphasizes historical meaning.Martin versus Hunter's Lessee established the Supreme Court's appellate authority over state court decisions involving federal law, ensuring uniform interpretation of federal law across the states.Cooper versus Aaron declared that state officials are bound by the Supreme Court's constitutional interpretations and cannot defy its decisions, underscoring the supremacy of federal constitutional law.United States versus Nixon affirmed that the judiciary has the authority to resolve constitutional disputes involving the executive branch and ordered President Nixon to comply with a subpoena, demonstrating that no one, including the President, is above the law.The Supreme Court lacks the power of the purse or sword and relies on the political branches and the public to comply with its rulings. Public acceptance and institutional legitimacy are crucial for its effectiveness and ability to enforce its decisions.Understanding the Supreme Court and judicial review is essential for constitutional law.Judicial review allows courts to strike down laws that conflict with the Constitution.Marbury v. Madison established the principle of judicial review.The power of judicial review is not explicitly stated in the Constitution.Federal courts can only hear actual cases or

What does it take to go from a criminal prosecutor to a pioneer of the “originalism” movement and one of the top constitutional law scholars in America?Randy Barnett is a professor of law at Georgetown University and the director of Georgetown Center for the Constitution. He has written numerous books including, Our Republican Constitution: Securing the Liberty and Sovereignty of We the People, The Original Meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment: Its Letter and Spirit, and most recently a memoir called A Life for Liberty: The Making of an American Originalist. Randy and Greg discuss his journey from private to public law, how he discovered and furthered the originalism movement, and his influential roles in landmark cases such as the 2004 medical marijuana challenge before the U.S. Supreme Court and the 2012 Affordable Care Act challenge. They also delve into the nuances of constitutional law and the structural challenges within legal academia.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:What motivates justices beyond doctrine19:35: What really motivates these justices, apart from the doctrine, which I think doesn't really motivate them, that means the law is not motivating. And what really motivates them is what I call constitutional principle. They carry within their minds some fundamental constitutional principles. And those principles kind of dictate what they think the right answer is. And at that point, they will start marshaling doctrine on behalf of that. But it isn't merely the policy outcome of the case. That's the difference. For the legal realists, the pure legal realists. It's just, "What outcome do I like?" But for most justices, it's, "What constitutional principles do I hold dear that I want to see vindicated, or do I believe will be undermined if the other side should prevail?" That's a big difference.What is originalism?12:37: Originalism is the view that the meaning of the constitution should remain the same until it is properly changed by amendment.Can contract law theory help you understand constitutional theory better?09:46: Being able to do contract law theory and to be able to do it at all enabled me to do constitutional theory way better than people who have known nothing but constitutional law. And if I can put this more in a vernacular, constitutional law is largely bullshit.The empty concept of activism in legal discourse29:03: The term activism is a completely empty concept. It is more, like what you said earlier, a label to be peeled off and stuck on a decision that you don't like. And it's a sort of process objection, which allows you to avoid having to talk about the merits of the constitutional argument. You say, "Oh, this judge is overstepping their authority. They're engaged in activism," without, and without having to say, "Well, what's wrong with what they said about the constitution?" Or whatever. And so, because it's empty, anybody can hurl it.Show Links:Recommended Resources:“A Consent Theory of Contract” by Randy Barnett Originalism “The Misconceived Quest for Original Understanding” by Ben ZimmerGovernment by Judiciary by Raoul BergerBarry Goldwater Arthur M.

In Berkeley Talks podcast episode 222, UC Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky and Brian Fitzpatrick, the Milton R. Underwood Chair in Free Enterprise at Vanderbilt Law School in Nashville, Tennessee, debate the merits of originalism in constitutional interpretation. Originalism is a theory that argues that the U.S. Constitution should be interpreted based on its original meaning, as understood at the time of its adoption nearly 250 years ago, rather than evolving with society. Arguments for originalism in this debate include: Originalism limits judicial discretion and prevents judges from imposing their own political views under the guise of constitutional interpretation.It promotes certainty, predictability and stability in law by relying on a fixed meaning of constitutional texts.Changes to the Constitution should be left to the formal amendment process, rather than judicial interpretation.Arguments against originalism include: Originalism is often unworkable in practice because it's difficult to determine the original meaning or intent of constitutional provisions, and historical context can be challenging to fully understand. The theory ties modern society to the views and values of earlier generations, potentially limiting constitutional rights and guarantees to outdated perspectives.It allows judges to impose their own biases under the guise of historical interpretation.This symposium, which took place on March 17, 2025, was UC Berkeley Law's inaugural Thomas David and Judith Swope Clark Symposium on Constitutional Interpretation. A video of the conversation will be posted soon on UC Berkeley Law's YouTube page.

We'll break down the policies that actually put America first, expose the chaos that's unfolded since, and discuss how we can push for real positive change for our country.

Her mission as the executive producer and host of the podcast, “Mueller, She Wrote,” is to employ her expertise in the absurd amount of Trump Russia news and wrap it up into tasty bites for human consumption; she is committed to do this weekly until the House of Trump falls. Additionally, she is very dedicated to the separation of facts and theory, and she works hard to make sure you know which is which. The truth is the goal, and facts are the tools. Allison hosts and produces a number of additional podcasts for democracy activists and informed citizens, including: “The Daily Beans” and “Clean Up on Aisle 45.” Please visit the following podcast links for Allison Gill's amazing shows: ‎Mueller, She Wrote on Apple Podcasts, ‎The Daily Beans on Apple Podcasts, ‎Cleanup on Aisle 45 with AG and Andrew Torrez on Apple Podcasts.  Bill Boyle is a well sourced and connected businessman who lives in Washington DC with his wife and son.
