I understand Professor Epstein's viewpoint, but we can't give into intimidation. Look what "they" did to Justice Kavanaugh.

Yes! I suppose you're contrasting the responses between Yoo & Epstein -- whose very NAME (or rather, my immediate default identification of the name with the OTHER "Epstein") was the very attraction that drew me here. The Epstein here DID kill himself, as far as his argument went, IMHO. He obviously was a very committed RBG admirer if not WORSHIPER. He even seems to have been TOO intimate with the Ginsburg family; and THAT, to me, vitiates his arguments. But I must admit, being Pro-life predisposes me to oppose ANY person, place, or thing which supports Roe/Doe & all other Culture of Death emanations. Constitutionally, the Preamble necessitates for the ABSOLUTE defense & ULTIMATE promotion of Life, "... to ourselves and our Posterity."

Every time there has been a vacancy in the court in a President’s final year,the President has made a nomination. It has happened a total of 29 times. We have had 45 Presidents, so roughly half of the Presidents have had to make this choice. 19 of this cases, the Presidency and Senate were of the same party. In 17 of those 19 cases the nomination was confirmed. In the 10 cases where the Senate and Presidency were different parties, only 2 of the 10 nominations were confirmed. When in history has a President not nominated a judge?

I thought Feinstein's comment was accusatory, too. One could be unable to fairly look at the constitution as an atheist as well. Does the person have a good track record of fairness, impartiality, a desire to protect and uphold the constitution, and have good character? That's the right question to ask.

With all due respect. When a lawyer is saying ”I'm concern about, I... I....” The argument between right and wrong dissipates and is replaced by emotions and not reason.

So nice to hear smart kind people with humor speaking

More from Yoo next time. OK?

So disappointing that Epstein got to go on so long at lehgth and how Yoo was totally out of the conversation. If you admire Epstein so much, go out to lunch. Bring 2 men, let 2 men speak equally.. Facilitate a conversation.

Better than any Hollywood movie. Well explained by historical arguments and debated with good thinking. Thank you much

In times of political unrest and conflict is precisely when the party of constitutional originalist ideology SHOULD nominate a candidate that will NOT legislate from the bench. It is during trying times that we MUST stand up for the Constitution AS WRITTEN.

Great show. Loved it TY

The discussion was very interesting and educational

Thank you Hoover Institution, for an exhilarating discussion as well as an introduction to Roman Riparian Law!!!

Agree with Michael Snyder 2 comments below this, "What a great discussion, this is the best show on the web." Best show? Certainly one of my my favorites. The beauty of this particular episode is the jovial comradery between the guests and Peter, fun for the guys and all of us as well to be treated to humor with brilliance, repartee. Subject matter was fascinating and I went back here and there to make sure I understood what was being said, sometimes not quite successfully. I came away with a much greater understanding of the complexity of interpreting the Law and our beloved Constitution and, the men and women who do it and do it well, or perhaps give it their best with integrity and humility. Seeing these two great scholars in disagreement helps highlight the difficulties in proper interpretation and differing ways to view a problem and the interpretation itself. I also now understand the overreach of Roe and believe getting it off the docket and back to the states might be the good solution: Though honestly, being a believer that the fetus is a viable human at conception, I can imagine the social discord moving down to the state level were that to happen, so, is there a good solution socially with our Agnostic friends who see it as a group of cells early on? Don't think so and I'm talking pure social disagreement here, not moral stand. For those of us who have a firm moral stand, I believe making the case logically through scientific fact that the fetus is an individual and in need of protection. This fact alone would be the unstoppable end of Roe over time, if people would realize there is a little person in the womb, especially the women who carry that life, as their say has strong emotional power in this matter. I'm basically thinking through what Richard said as there is a viable human at conception and if that point is made, no further argument is necessary - great statement there. I have been thinking about but now have the full realization of the amount of reading and study Peter must do, and, his own great ability to grasp all these subjects and ask the pertinent questions that give us all a fuller knowledge of what is being said by the experts. Quite remarkable, Thanks Peter for all your work. PS the kids pictures are terrific. Have three artists in my immediate family with with ability and I enjoy good art very much. Those of your kids (I assume) are very well done.

No means no, Richard.

Most entertaining and informative: roman repairum law?

Never bow down to the mob...

I LOVED hearing what Epstein had to say about Feinstein's inquisition with Amy Barrett! I completely agree that it was quite improper, since the question has already been asked and answered, and the confrontation was done in a manner that was rather cold and demeaning. I did not agree with what he said about some other issues, but I enjoyed listening in on this whole dialogue. As always, John Yoo is top notch. Would have liked to hear more from him.

Can someone please explain to me how if the 2nd. Amendment is in the constitution, I cannot have a weapon crossing state lines? So if the states amend those rights locally, does that not apply to abortions?

This episode was the absolute best review of Constitutional and secular law ever. Both well defined proponents of seemingly opposite views most clearly shows to the World just why the United States of America is, indeed, the “......Best Hope” of all humanity. I’ll not ever put “Last” before “best”...... especially after bringing back former President Reagan’s story, retold by Education Czar Bill Bennet, of the “illegal” immigrant’s greeting..... “hey, freedom man,” which says it all. My Lord, we are beyond Blessed to live in this wonderful country. Dave in Phoenix Arizona USA

Don't you mean, replace a non constitutional judge, with a constitutional one.

What a wonderful, lively, good-natured discussion among friends with differing views. I thought that was illegal in today's USA. Perhaps come November 4th...

Great discussion.

Federalist 45 seems to indicate that the Founders left decisions concerning healthcare matters, of which I would include abortion, to the States to each decide for themselves. Yes, I would include the ACA to be a State Rights issue and matter to decide for themselves as well, and SCOTUS exceeded its Constitutional authority in both cases. Perhaps Roberts could and should be impeached for his vote on the ACA, alone.

As a right leaning independent. I am appalled that any Judge let alone a supreme court justice. Would vote based on Feelings and Political Agenda. That is Abuse. Their job is to interpret both the Spirited intention of the Law, and The law as written. Ruling based on Precedent itself is problematic. As Rulings can be wrong. Why echo a wrong precedent.

That was such a joy to listen to, socially as I totally agree with what they say. Except on the use of the words “dogma” Euclid’s parallel postulate is a dogma, and Kant treated it so. That does not mean that a different dogma can be proposed. and serve as the foundation of a different geometry. Feinstein has a double prejudice. She is a total positivist in her understanding of law, and sociological in her thinking about religion. Finally, given Barret faith, unconstitutional in forgetting the origin of the words religious test.

A bit harsh if you ask me “And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death” The Old Testament “God” is something else that is pretending to be God. An evil, cruel entity if there ever was one and certainly no God. With an objective reading of the five books you can hardly come up with a different assessment, but with some impressive mental gymnastics, you can justify anything.

The Roman Catholic Church takes the position that, in light of the dignity of human life granted by God, Christians are called to protect and support all life and therefore the death penalty should never be imposed if there is any alternative. They view the death penalty as valid *only* when the State has no other way to practically protect the community from the threat to life a criminal poses. In the modern era, society always has other options as we have prisons. As Pope John Paul II said: "The new evangelization calls for followers of Christ who are unconditionally pro-life: who will proclaim, celebrate and serve the Gospel of life in every situation. A sign of hope is the increasing recognition that the dignity of human life must never be taken away, even in the case of someone who has done great evil. . . . I renew the appeal I made . . . for a consensus to end the death penalty...." It is fair to disagree on any number of grounds, including religious ones, but that is currently the official doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church. In that Church, the opinions of individual members are not "co-equal" with the Pope's on doctrinal matters.

Would much rather have heard Michael McConnell than either one of these guys, and he's right there at Stanford.
