Politics and the Rule of Law

Thank you for inviting me to deliver the Joseph Story Lecture. Delivering this lecture represents a singular honor for many reasons: It is named after Story, one of our greatest justices and constitutional scholars; the late Judge Robert Bork delivered the inaugural lecture; and my Circuit Justice and friend, Clarence Thomas, delivered the lecture five years ago. Above all, the honor comes with its association with last year’s lecturer, Ed Meese, for whom the Center that sponsors this lecture is named.
