Stone. Geoff, the Supreme Court has held and it is presently the law in the United States, that the constitution protects most pornography and abortion rights and samesex marriage. That would have surprised the framers, would have surprised most americans 100 years ago, so how did that happen . Guest you have to read the book to answer that. It happened through a combination of social movements that began to change Public Opinion and public understanding about these issues. It happened it was with respect to pornography with technological change in the advent of internet and cable which mad it was much more pervasive and happened as a result of the justices having a fuller understanding of the consequences of some of these laws. So maybe i can start with the example of, say, abortion. One thing most people assume today is that dwayne roe v. Wads decided in 1973 i was a law clerk to Justice Brennan but roe v.

Rights originally applied only against the federal government. Its about states rights and in between the celebration of the local juries and bill of rights was antifederalist teen party suspicion of local government. And thats important. But that isnt the power bill of rights today because you believe some of the most fundamental rights need to be protected against states and localities. Brown v.

What was going through your mind, first to move you to write the book and then as you were writing it, to sort of take that approach where you were doing all these thing at one time imim going to teach you something, show you something, tell you something. Guest first of all, thank you for being here. Nor one of my back book cover quotes so that means a lot to me. We have been friends for 25 years. I dont want to talk about how old we are now. Just teagueing. But to answer your question two things happened in 2015. That for me were gamechangers. The first one was the riots in baltimore. Stephanie rawlins blake was the mayor. I was in shock eye. Born right after the riots and i never saw that so seeing an American City burn was shocking. The second thing that happened was the charleston shootings. The issue over the confederate flag, seeing nine africanamericans shot in a church by someone who to this day doesnt think he did anything wrong, doesnt feel bad about it, actually a
