Associate director of the institute on constitutional democracy. Thanks to cspan for being here. We are doing something a little differently because of cspan being here. For instance, im going to say a little bit more about what the institute is at the beginning for the tv audience. Founded in 2014, it is a joint project between the university of missouri Political Science and history departments in cooperation with other scholarly groups on campus. Dedicated to research, teaching, and Community Engagement on the subject of american political thought and history seen in broad context and from a wide variety of perspectives. It is created from a generous gift from the Kinder Foundation of houston, texas, and we are they made history and social sciences at the university of missouri as one of their philanthropies among many others they could choose. Our goal is to teach and learn about american constitutional democracy as the founders created it, but not just that. We want to understand
Thank you for being with us. I want to begin where you begin in the book where president clinton is in chappaqua, new york on january 21, 2009, no longer the president of the United States and you write with the nationwide fury over mark richs pardon in 2001 bill clintons adversaries in politics and the media realize how much they enjoyed lashing regardless of his presence in the capital, if anything a compulsion to pursue their old quarry seemed to be swelling now that he was no longer leader of the free world but just another defenseless citizen.

Also migration north from mexico, migration from new mexico, africanamericans coming from the south. So theres a large mixture of different ethnic and migrant groups as well. As they start controlling the area economically, some of the things i look at specifically is theyll say, okay, new mexicans or the hispanics are living in a adobe houses, they really should be live anything wood structures. So theyll build coal camps that are wood structureses, but then the employees cant heat their houses in the same way because the adobes had kept the heat in better than the wood paneling, so theyll charge so the employees really now have to start using coal from what theyre mined, but they end up paying cost for the coal. Its not like they get an employee discount. Their tons are meas
