Rights are a sacred part of American identity, yet they are the source of some of our greatest divisions.We believe that holding a right means getting a judge to let us do whatever the right protects. And judges, for their part, seem unable to imagine two rights coexisting — reducing the law to winners and losers.
The resulting system of legal absolutism distorts our law, debases our politics and exacerbates our differences rather than helping to bridge them.
This lecture offers a different approach that is consistent with our history and points the way to a more just, more civil society.
