Thank you, General Meese, for the kind introduction. I am honored to be here to deliver the Joseph Story Lecture. As General Meese said, Joseph Story had a profound influence on American law as a Supreme Court Justice and as a scholar, and I am honored to deliver a lecture in his name. I am particularly honored to be here when I look at the distinguished list of past speakers, including Justice Anthony Kennedy, Justice Clarence Thomas, my colleague Judge Ray Randolph, and my former colleague Judge Janice Rogers Brown, whom I miss greatly.
