ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We continue our chat series on socialism. While the Constitution does have built-in safeguards against socialism it does allow open debate and policy choices decided by "we the people." How do these dual, seemingly contradictory, traits co-exist under our constitutional framework? Joining our chat this week, we welcome the Hon. Michael McConnell as our guest. McConnell served as a circuit judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit and is now professor at Stanford Law School as well as the director of Stanford's Constitutional Law Center.
