1 Is America's criminal justice system truly just? Judge Jed Rakoff argues for reform 1:09:36
1:09:36 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked1:09:36
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThe Bill of Rights provides a great number of protections for accused and convicted criminals: it promises trial by jury; it prohibits “cruel and unusual” punishment. And in this system, defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Yet few criminal indictments today are actually decided by a full trial; instead, prosecutors have many points of leverage, and defendants have strong incentives to plead guilty. Are these tools and incentives good for constitutional government? Judge Jed Rakoff, of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, recently published a book arguing for major reforms: “ Why the Innocent Plead Guilty and the Guilty Go Free: And Other Paradoxes of Our Broken Legal System . ” On April 29, 2021, he participated in a public web event with Adam , to discuss the limits of forensic science, prosecutors’ advantages over defense during trials, and other ways the criminal justice system is falling short.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedFrom today’s vantage point, the Founding era often seems a time churning with decisive hopefulness. The 1789 Constitutional Convention certainly featured vehement debate, as Gary Schmitt and Joseph Bessette noted in our last episode . But optimism appeared to prevail: on the last day of the Convention, Benjamin Franklin concluded that a rising , rather than a setting, sun was the apt metaphor for the fledgling nation. Yet many of our most revered Founders –Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Hamilton – expressed deep concern for the new nation’s prospects for success. The framers’ worries, often overlooked in scholarship, is the subject of Syracuse University Political Science Professor Dennis Rasmussen ’s new book, Fears of a Setting Sun: The Disillusionment of America's Founders .

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSince the 19 th Amendment ratified women’s right to vote in 1920, the quest for women’s equality in America has taken many turns. But the philosophical lineage behind the legal and cultural debates about women’s rights remains visible in today’s disagreements. Intellectual descendants of John Stuart Mill argue that reproductive autonomy best achieves economic equality for women. Heirs of Mary Wollstonecraft’s thought, on the other hand, emphasize the need for laws that require employers to respect men’s and women’s family obligations. Erika Bachiochi, fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center , senior fellow at the Abigail Adams Institute , and author of the forthcoming book The Rights of Women: Reclaiming a Lost Vision , joins Adam to trace and evaluate the evolving debate over the political, legal, and cultural meaning of women’s equality.…

For much of their history, Americans viewed religious devotion as a linchpin of human experience and deserving of legal protection.

For those with secular beliefs, faith can seem like a veil for discrimination and intolerance.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThe relationship between politics and religion is inevitably fraught. In the American context, various confessions have evaluated America’s political arrangement differently over time, but some themes of the debate remain the same. Does America’s constitutional character favor religious belief? Or does it imply an anthropology of autonomous individualism and tacitly encourage secularism? Should laws move beyond mere proceduralism towards soulcraft, and if so, how can they do so while respecting America’s cultural and religious diversity? In our current moment, is big tech a threat to the First Amendment’s free speech and free exercise guarantees? Ryan Anderson, President of the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment and Truth Overruled: The Future of Marriage and Religious Freedom , joins Adam to discuss how to think about the competing priorities of religion, law, technology, and speech.
