Podcast appearances and mentions of Peter J Wallison

Join America's Roundtable co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with Professor John Yoo, Emanuel Heller Professor of Law at the University of California at Berkeley, Nonresident Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University and Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice. The enlightening conversation focuses on the vital issues impacting our nation including the inexorable growth of an unaccountable administrative state, the significance of "natural rights" and the future of the courts, the First and Second Amendments and on recent developments in China and the Indo-Pacific region. From CSPAN: “What happened at the Court is tremendously bad,” remarked Justice Clarence Thomas about the recently-leaked draft of a Supreme Court opinion that would strike down Roe v. Wade. Justice Thomas elaborated, saying that the leak does damage to the rule of law and institutions in general. “You can't have a civil society--a free society--without a stable legal system,” he added. His remarks came during an interview at the Old Parkland Conference in Dallas. He also discussed other issues including free speech at colleges and universities, the influence that his mentor Thomas Sowell had on him, his disagreement on always abiding by legal precedent, and his disapproval of protests that happen near public officials' homes.

By forbidding Congress to delegate its legislative authority elsewhere, this rule ensures that only elected legislators will make the laws that bind Americans or limit their liberties." —The Supreme Court's Chance to Restore Political Accountability (https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-supreme-court-restore-political-accountability-epa-west-virginia-carbon-dioxide-legislation-policy-11646002070), The Wall Street Journal commentary by Peter J.

Should Supreme Court Justices Believe in Natural Rights? — Newsweek (https://www.aei.org/op-eds/should-supreme-court-justices-believe-in-natural-rights/) By John Yoo Brief excerpt: "In her answer, Judge Jackson accurately identifies the Declaration of Independence as one of the leading explications of natural rights in American history. But if she has no position on natural rights, as she wrote in response to Senator Cruz, then she has no position on the Declaration of Independence. Her answers did not come under the pressured circumstances of live hearings, but instead came as written answers to written questions after the end of her Judiciary Committee hearings. We should view them not as a mistake, but as her carefully considered views on the matter. Again, she puts herself in opposition to the Great Emancipator, who once said “I never had a feeling politically that did not spring from the sentiments embodied in the Declaration of Independence.” In an 1859 letter, Lincoln memorably wrote on the occasion of Thomas Jefferson's birthday: All honor to Jefferson—to the man who, in the concrete pressure of a struggle for national independence by a single people, had the coolness, forecast, and capacity to introduce into a merely revolutionary document, an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times, and so to embalm it there, that to-day, and in all coming days, it shall be a rebuke and a stumbling-block to the very harbingers of re-appearing tyranny and oppression."

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, the New York Times continues their propagandistic pseudo-events to smear Attorney General Barr and the Mueller Report. This pseudo-news has fueled rumors and attempts to investigate and jail the president and his family. Indeed, society has become accustomed to hoaxes and illusions. Later, the Democrats keep the rhetoric going to abolish the electoral college—the failsafe that the founders put into our Construction to protect the integrity of our presidential elections. Also, Senator Bernie Sanders claims that President Trump is a racist and homophobe amongst other things, but it's him that represents one of the most homogeneous white states in the nations. Sanders should look towards Venezuela for equality, where they are now dying equally, starving equally, and losing their homes equally. How’s that for equality? Finally, author Peter J.

In this episode we bring you the great discussion we had from the opening panel of the 2019 Legislative Branch Review Conference, held on the Hill in February in partnership with the Federalist Society's Georgetown Student Chapter. The panel asked, "Can the Other Branches Help Restore Congress?", exploring how and if executive and judicial efforts could stoke the legislative ambition Madison expected. We hope you find it interesting and enjoyable.Featuring:David Hoppe, President, Hoppe StrategiesProf. Sally Katzen, Professor of Practice and Distinguished Scholar in Residence; Co-Director of the Legislative and Regulatory Process Clinic, New York University School of LawDr. Philip Wallach, Senior Fellow, Governance, R StreetHon.

On February 6, 2019, the Federalist Society's Article I Initiative and the Georgetown Student Chapter co-sponsored the first Legislative Branch Review Conference. The first panel asked "Can the Other Branches Help Restore Congress?"Madison famously asserted that “ambition must be made to counteract ambition,” but how would he advise the current federal government Branches in support of the separation of powers? Are there opportunities for each Branch to encourage or even compel Congress to shoulder the constitutional responsibilities that are central to the Legislative Branch's nature and purpose? How can we effectively address this important restoration work from both within and without?Featuring:David Hoppe, President, Hoppe StrategiesProf. Sally Katzen, Professor of Practice and Distinguished Scholar in Residence; Co-Director of the Legislative and Regulatory Process Clinic, New York University School of LawDr. Philip Wallach, Senior Fellow, Governance, R StreetHon.

In a timely book, Peter J. Wallison challenges the legitimacy of the modern administrative state. Rather than take up the burden of legislating, Congress has delegated lawmaking responsibility to regulatory agencies in direct violation of the Framers’ intent that the only government officials who should make law are the ones directly accountable to the electorate. The Supreme Court has aided and abetted this knowing violation of the Constitution by upholding a broad range of rulemaking delegations to political appointees and bureaucrats. The Court has aggravated the problem with the Chevron doctrine, which allows agencies to define the meaning of acts of Congress even though the Framers intended the federal courts to have that authority. This book argues that there is time to re-establish the constitutional system that the Framers created, but that we must act now or risk losing this opportunity forever.

In this book, Peter J. Wallison argues that the administrative agencies of the executive branch have gradually taken over the legislative role of Congress, resulting in what many call the administrative state. The judiciary bears the major responsibility for this development because it has failed to carry out its primary constitutional responsibility: to enforce the constitutional separation of powers by ensuring that the elected branches of government―the legislative and the executive―remain independent and separate from one another. Since 1937, and especially with the Chevron deference adopted by the Supreme Court in 1984, the judiciary has abandoned this role. It has allowed Congress to delegate lawmaking authorities to the administrative agencies of the executive branch and given these agencies great latitude in interpreting their statutory authorities. Unelected officials of the administrative state have thus been enabled to make decisions for the American people that, in a democracy, should only be made by Congress. The consequences have been grave: unnecessary regulation has imposed major costs on the U.S. economy, the constitutional separation of powers has been compromised, and unabated agency rulemaking has created a significant threat that Americans will one day question the legitimacy of their own government. To address these concerns, Wallison argues that the courts must return to the role the Framers expected them to fulfill.The Hon. Peter J.

Mark follows deep into the story of the Washington Post reporter, Jamal Khashoggi, and how Saudi Arabia is planning to admit to his accidental death at the embassy in Turkey. Also, Peter J. Wallison discusses his new book, "Judicial Fortitude," and how the judicial, and even executive, branch are creating new legislation when their Constitutional powers don't allow such a rule.

This lecture was presented on June 23, 2017 by Peter J. Wallison at the Institute of World Politics. ABOUT THIS SPEAKER Peter J. Wallison holds the Arthur F.

During 1986 and 1987, Mr. Wallison was White House counsel to President Ronald Reagan, and between 1972 and 1976, he served first as Special Assistant to New York's Gov. Nelson A. Rockefeller and, subsequently, as counsel to Mr. Rockefeller as vice president of the United States.

In May 2011, for his work in financial policy, Mr. Wallison received an honorary doctorate in Humane Letters from the University of Colorado.

Since 2008, the Left has mocked the idea that the government might have had a hand in the housing bubble and collapse and the financial crisis, which are portrayed as spontaneous outcomes of a market economy. This thesis is blasted to smithereens in this discussion with Peter J. Wallison.

Michael Oliver and Dr. Quinton Hennigh return. Peter J. Wallison who visits for the first time explains that it was the government and not the private sector that was largely to blame for the housing bubble and financial crisis that followed. Without adequate review, Dodd-Frank legislation was implemented but without properly diagnosing the cause of the last financial crisis, the table is set for a repeat. That's just one more reason to opt out of the existing global financial system based on fiat money. Dr. Hennigh returns to update us on Novo Resources progress in what is one of the most fascinating exploration stories in the market today. Novo's Australian gold project is looking like it could be the next Witwatersrand gold discovery. Dating back to 1886 the Witwatersrand discovery has been by far the largest gold discovery in history. Oliver will share his latest analytical insights on the precious metals markets at the start of the show.
