Is Judicial Restraint the Proper Response to Judicial Activism?
In his new book Cosmic Constitutional Theory: Why Americans Are Losing Their Inalienable Right to Self-Governance, Judge Wilkinson strongly criticizes the liberal "living Constitution" movement, but also takes issue with many libertarians and other legal theorists who have successfully urged the Supreme Court to apply closer constitutional scrutiny to government action in areas such as eminent domain and gun control. Responding to Judge Wilkinson, and defending a tradition of vigorous judicial protection of constitutional liberty, will be Roger Pilon, founder and director of Cato's Center for Constitutional Studies.

The Real Effects of Sequestration
The Budget Control Act passed by Congress directs that on January 2, 2013, the Obama administration must cut the defense budget by at least $55 billion and cut the same amount from domestic discretionary spending. Some observers assert that such reductions will damage the economy and increase unemployment. Even many who view excessive government spending as economically counterproductive oppose Pentagon cuts. These concerns are overblown, Cato scholars explain. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
