Episode 2: Confronting the Administrative Threat

RealClearPodcasts

The Future of the Administrative State is a weekly podcast, hosted by RealClearPolicy editor Tony Mills, that explores the virtues and vices of administrative power in the era of Trump. In this second episode, Tony talks with Columbia Law School’s Philip Hamburger, author of 'Is Administrative Law Unlawful?' and 'The Administrative Threat'. In a discussion that touches on the monarchical concept of absolute power and German political philosophy, Hamburger explains why he thinks the administrative state not only violates the separation of powers, but also threatens Americans’ civil liberties.
