Ensuring the Blessings of Liberty: How Should the Supreme Court Interpret the Constitution?
the whole truth with david eisenhower

The United States is the old constitutional democracy in the world with our Constitution among the most important legal documents ever written. For more than two centuries, what the constitution means and how it applies to the lives of Americans has been determined by the Supreme Court of the United States. While Americans on the political left and right both pledge allegiance to the constitution, there is a deep divide on the proper philosophy of interpretation by the Supreme Court. Guests: Kermit Roosevelt, Professor, University of Pennsylvania law school Ilan Wurman, fellow and lecturer in law at the Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law at Arizona State University.

Duration: 26 minutes and 45 seconds

Episode Number: 603

About The Whole Truth with David Eisenhower:

THE WHOLE TRUTH is neither a traditional one-on-one interview show nor a conventional round-table program.

It's a six-part series that aims to uncover the reality behind today's toughest issues, leaving the partisan noise-making out of the equation.

Hosted by David Eisenhower - noted historian and author, professor at the Annenberg School of Communications at the University of Pennsylvania, and grandson and namesake of President Dwight D.

Eisenhower - the series tackles some of the weightiest public affairs topics of our time, with a focus that's global and long-term in scope.

Eisenhower's approach to political debate is rigorous, intense and insightful.

Each half-hour episode features a different panel of guests presenting varying points of view to help viewers understand all sides of the issue.

The format of the show is a three-step that includes an introduction to the topic or "the case," cross-examination and oral arguments, and a summary of "the whole truth."
