Natural Law and the New Right v. The Constitution ch1: the Judicial Restraint Activism of the 1980s
Part 2: The Natural Law provides a key to resolving a Republican debate in the 1980s on the normative judicial power, Judicial Activism v. Judicial Restraint. We did the Foreward by Richard A. Epstein last time (15 Oct 2025) and this time we continue with the Preface and Chapter 1.
Stephen Macedo published "The New Right v. The Constitution" with The CATO Institute in 1986.
We're going to make a fair use and do a transformative reading of the book.
CATO offers a free download of the book here: https://www.cato.org/books/new-right-v-constitution
We'd like to thank Stephen Macedo for writing the book and to thank CATO for making this material available in publishing it. Consider supporting CATO with a financial donation so that they can continue providing quality resources for discussion. Tell a friend about their resources.
This episode includes a reading at the end of Psalm 51 (KJV) and January 18th of Streams in the Desert (Cowman: Los Feliz Station Lost Angeles, CA 1925).
The Republican Professor is a pro-appropriate-judicial-activism podcast.
Warmly,
Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.
