Episode notes

This chapter explores the increasing complexity and reach of the legal system in America, as outlined in the book 'Overruled.' It examines how the growth of regulations and the administrative state's power create barriers for ordinary citizens, complicating their understanding of the law. Additionally, the conversation highlights the relationship between legal systems and social capital, discussing how excessive legalism can lead to isolation and weakened community bonds.

In this episode of the Sunday Special, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch joins us to discuss his latest book, "Over Ruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law." With his signature judicial clarity, Justice Gorsuch explores the effects of our government’s expanding federal criminal code and the real-world consequences when seemingly innocuous activities entangle citizens with federal law. Justice Gorsuch shares the stories of Americans whose livelihoods have been negatively impacted by overregulation, and why he remains an “incorrigible optimist” about the future of our nation. This conversation is essential listening from one of our country’s sharpest legal minds!
