Judges were guests of the cato institute. Its about 90 minutes. Good afternoon, everybody. Im tim lynch. Today we will be hosting a debate on the question of whether or not the american criminal Justice System needs an ov overhaul. We have two very distinguished judges from our federal appeallate courts. Whats kind of interesting is that both of our guests were appointed to the bench by president reagan. This is not going to be your typical left right debate here in washington. The judges are in unique position by writing articles, giving lectures and ideas that have an impact on our legal system. I want to thank both of our guests for taking time out of their busy schedules to give us the benefit of some their experiences from the bench and suggesting ideas that might improve our legal system. I would like to take a minute or two to Lay Foundation for the discussion thats to follow. Before i do that, if you have a cell phone quickly doublecheck and make sure theyre silenced as a court

Where i think the courts do Police Delegation is in terms of how they read statutes. In terms of whether or not its sub constitutional. Its statutory interpretation and Administrative Law when they subject something to more search and e review and require reasoned explanation thats in part to make up for the lack of the congressional delegation. And thats where i think the courts should play a role because thats where the most effective. Im very sympathetic to your vision of the collective congress as a matter of policy, but i heard you to be making not just a policy argument, but also an argument from constitutional structure. And i wonder what do you make of the fact that the constitution isnt more clear about this and that it does speak about the speaker of the house and the president of the senate.
