Columbia University Law (NYC) Professor Philip Hamburger on The Republican Professor
The Maurice & Hilda Friedman Professor of Law at Columbia University (New York City) Law School joins The Republican Professor podcast in this episode to alert us to the newest form of regulatory manipulative control used by the federal Administrative State (it's also at the state and local level), described chillingly yet simply for non-lawyers in his newest book, "Purchasing Submission" (Harvard University Press, 2021).
The subtitle of the wonderfully clear book is "Conditions, Power, and Freedom." As the title indicates, the book is about government control by purchased "consent", often using private actors as third-parties. Is it really consent, and therefore, okay ? As Professor Hamburger so aptly explains in this TRP episode, this form of Administrative control is actually quite harmful and therefore, rightly disturbing. Much of this type of regulation by purchase of consent, moreover, is probably unConstitutional.
In addition to his teaching duties there in New York City at the Law School of Columbia University (Harlem), Professor Hamburger is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA), an organization that litigates the matters we discuss in this episode. It is encouraging that NCLA exists ! It engages in healthy, Constitutional resistance to the harmful effects of what passes as Administrative "Law."
Professor Hamburger told me off camera that they are litigating Second Amendment issues as well, for example, with the bump stock rule-making-based ban. (That criminalized innocent conduct overnight under the guise of administrative "law"). And the organization works on much more besides.
