From what I'm reading, Republican control of the U.S. Senate may be decided in the Georgia run-off next month between incumbent Democrat Raphael Warnock and his Republican challenger, Herschel Walker. Curious to know more about how that could go, either way, I watched the debate between Warnock and Walker, and was struck by one exchange in particular. Warnock, who pastors at Ebeneezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where Martin Luther King, Jr. also co-pastored back in the day, says women should have the right to choose abortion because "even God gave Adam and Eve the ability to choose." To that, Walker replied that we need to read the rest of the book to learn that God told us to choose life. This, then, brings us back again to the question of what "Christian nationalism" is. And you can check out this CT article from last year by Paul D. Miller for more on why I can't quite take it seriously. Or, by contrast, read also this piece by William Galston from November 4th. The long and short of it is that all folks like me really want politically is the freedom to be heard when we counter the likes of Raphael Warnock with "it is written," preferably without being called Nazis for doing so. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

We are finding out that politics and the law are sometimes about separate ways of looking at the world. The law is often about the past. It's about adjudicating events that have happened, laws that have been broken, and punishments that should be meted out in the public sphere, particularly with respect to Donald Trump. We see it playing out with January 6th, past tax violations, stolen documents, and the results of past elections. Politics on the other hand is about what's ahead. It's about how imagining, defining, and enacting policy and laws will shape our individual and collective future. While we've all been focused on the law of late, many have missed the political discussions taking place on the far right under the moniker of national conservatism, a set of ideas and potential policies that pull together all the forces that Trump has unleashed. This is more than just traditional populism. It's a set of ideas that bear little resemblance to traditional conservatism. It's an intellectual framework that does nothing short of turn back every idea from the enlightenment to the evolution of America since the 1950s. Not to take anything away from the legal proceedings that are currently underway with respect to Trump, the forces that he has unleashed as voiced at the gathering of national conservatives a couple of weeks ago, which included over 100 speakers, 23 panels, and three US senators, governors, and billionaires, are where our eyes should be focused. This is the world that professor William Galston of Brookings Institution has studied.  My WhoWhatWhy conversation with William Galston:

How has the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade affected the course of the 2022 midterm elections? How has it affected the standing of the two political parties? To discuss these questions, we are joined by Brookings Institution Senior Fellow William Galston. According to Galston, the galvanizing effect of the Dobbs decision on Democratic voters has eaten into the advantage the out-of-power party typically has in an off-year election. Swing voters who view Republicans as too far from the mainstream on abortion, and other issues, threaten to upend GOP hopes of a Red Wave in November. At the same time, Galston reflects on the Democrats own vulnerabilities, particularly on cultural issues, which could hurt their electoral chances in November and beyond.

She and the co-hosts then discuss the situation since the USSR collapsed––widespread support for independence throughout Ukraine despite US opposition; what the Putin regime hopes to achieve by invading Ukraine; and why attempts to appease it are futile.

In September 1989, the brand-new Progressive Policy Institute published The Politics of Evasion: Democrats and the Presidency. Nearly 33 years later, this political study maintains more than just historical interest today as the Democratic Party once again must wrestle with basic questions of political outlook and electoral strategy. Written by political scholars William Galston and Elaine Kamarck, their analysis refuted the principal “myths” that the party's establishment embraced to explain away recent losses and avoid confronting the fundamental reasons voters were rejecting its candidates. The Politics of Evasion laid the political predicate for the rise of the “New Democrats” and Bill Clinton and their successful efforts to infuse new ideas into a stale governing agenda and snap the string of presidential defeats. Today, Democrats obviously face a very different political environment and set of electoral challenges. What hasn't changed, however, is the need for unflinching honesty about the party's struggles to consolidate a broad and a durable majority — even after four years of Donald Trump's chaotic, divisive and lawless presidency. Facing a difficult midterm election and the ominous prospect of a second Trump run for the White House, Democrats are once again in need of a political reality check. Galston and Kamarck have obliged with a fresh analysis of the party's predicament: The New Politics of Evasion: How Ignoring Swing Voters Could Reopen the Door for Donald Trump and Threaten American Democracy. In this episode of the Radically Pragmatic podcast, William and Elaine sit down with PPI President Will Marshall to unpack the contents of their new report and discuss what changes Democrats need to make in order to stop Republicans from taking back control of Congress this November and the White House in 2024.

On this encore edition of Press Conference USA, William (Bill) Galston, senior fellow in the governance studies program at the Brookings Institution, discusses his recent book "Anti Pluralism: The Populist Threat to Liberal Democracy," with host Carol Castiel and VOA Senior National Correspondent Jim Malone. Galston tells VOA that populists embrace a restricted notion of "the people." They draw a distinction between the "real people" and "the less real people." Populists tend to characterize "the less real people" as "enemies" and "scapegoats" for whatever is going wrong in society.

But, William Galston of the Brookings Institution says that's a misreading. The former adviser to President Bill Clinton tells Bloomberg News' Jeanna Smialek and Bloomberg View's Daniel Moss that the populist wave moving across the world is also born out of anxiety about immigration.

Most agree that society should take care of its neediest members. The question is how this should be accomplished. Our current federal safety net was designed for a different era and is becoming increasingly outdated, ineffective, and expensive. How can we reform it to be both successful and fiscally sustainable? To what degree does our current entitlement system stretch well beyond the actual needs of those in poverty? And to what extent should we rely on state governments and civil society instead of a one-size-fits-all national approach? -- This panel was presented at the 2016 National Student Symposium on Saturday, February 27, 2016, at the University of Virginia School of Law. -- Featuring: Mr. Christopher DeMuth, Distinguished Fellow, Hudson Institute; Dr. William Galston, Senior Fellow, Governance Studies, The Brookings Institution; Prof. Julia Mahoney, John S.

Equality of opportunity is supposed to be a fundamental American principle. But it is not being realized today – in large part due to our failing education system. Despite being better funded, American public schools consistently lag those of comparable countries. The disparity is especially stark in inner-city and minority school districts, where poor children are most in need of quality education. Is school choice the solution? What role should the federal government play in education? And what legal issues are implicated by reform efforts? -- This panel was presented at the 2016 National Student Symposium on Saturday, February 27, 2016, at the University of Virginia School of Law. -- Featuring: Hon. Clint Bolick, Arizona Supreme Court; Mrs. Cynthia Brown, Senior Fellow, Center for American Progress; Dr. William Galston, Senior Fellow, Governance Studies, The Brookings Institution; and Prof. Amy Wax, Robert Mundheim Professor of Law, University of Pennsylvania Law School.

The Constitution was written to protect individual sovereignty, but we have gradually allowed a regime of public morality and intolerance to replace that inheritance from the Founders. That's the thesis of a new book by Elizabeth Price Foley. An expert on health care law and bioethics, Foley explains "the morality of American law," then applies those principles to marriage; sex; reproduction; medical care; and food, drug, and alcohol regulation to show how far we've strayed from the Constitution's promise of liberty for all. William Galston, a former adviser to President Clinton and an expert on family policy, will offer comments. Please join us for what promises to be an entertaining and informative exchange.
