Talk about stuff that i am equally eager to talk about with you. A week before joseph smith was killed in carthage jail when he was in some tense negotiations with the state to turn himself in and be tried for ordering the destruction of the knob works pozner he turns to William Clayton who just happens to be the secretary of the secret counsel established, counsel 50.

There are a handful of questions that come up. Nobody has dealt with this issue more than i have. I was governor of a state with a 1200 mile border. Sincee been doing this 2000. Better security, not building a wall . Mr. Perry lay it out and use common sense. Which one of these can happen quicker . Which one is more effective . , andu just build a wall you do not have the other aspects, all you have done is spent a lot of time and money. When we talk about strategic fencing, when you have personnel , aviation assets, that is a virtual wall. If that is what they are talking about, they need to lay it out. It is kind of like hope and change. That probably meant Something Different for you than it did for her. Building a wall can mean a lot of different things.

Host anna harvey is here with us and she is the author of a mere machine the Supreme Court, congress, and american democracy. Professor harvey, what does your book mean . Guest i would say it is about two questions. The first is when the Supreme Court decides constitutional cases and makes rulings on the federal statutes does it do so independent of the elected legislature and most people i think would argue is the answer to yes.
