The State of Judicial Review 25 Years After [Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council.]" Justice Scalia talked about the relevance of [Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council] at the time it was decided and the years that followed it. The case is widely cited in administrative law due to it creating a two part test for determining the intent of legislative authority in administrative policies. The ruling determined that the courts must defer to the administrative interpretation of authority if the policy is ambiguous and the administrative interpretation is reasonable. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/285480-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/285480-1 Sat, 25 Apr 2009 02:32:10 GMT After welcoming remarks, panelists gave an overview of military commission operations and practices.

Judge Posner is the author of [Law, Pragmatism, and Democracy], published by Harvard University Press. He argued that democratic governments work best when they are run by political elites ("specialists"), working through established governing institutions, with minimal input from the public. He says that humanity is made up of wolves (those who will fight to gain wealth and power) and sheep (those who are naturally subservient and politically uninterested), and that the goal is to create a system of government that will domesticate the wolves to serve the greater society of sheep. Professor Raskin is the author of [Overruling Democracy: The Supreme Court Versus the American People], published by Routledge. He supported the idea of "participatory democracy," in which citizens play an active role in government. He argues that governing institutions cannot always be trusted to act in the interest of the general public (as was evidenced during the 2000 presidential election) and that constitutional amendments are required to guarantee that the public's democratic rights are always protected. Professor Gerkin moderated the debate. Both authors answered questions from the audience following their remarks. http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/176452-1 info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Public Affairs Event http://www.c-spanvideo.org/program/176452-1 Sat, 12 Jul 2003 19:59:01 GMT Mr. Barak talked about the role of the judiciary in a democracy and its role in ensuring proper balance between national security and civil liberties in time of war.
