How the Justice System Lost Its Soul – and How to Get It Back | Hadley Arkes
Description
In this episode of The Conor Gallagher Show, Conor sits down with Hadley Arkes, the main advocate and architect of the bill that became known as the Born-Alive Infants’ Protection Act, to discuss how the justice system lost its soul and how to get it back.
Arkes, the founder and director of the James Wilson Institute on Natural Rights & the American Founding, lends his expertise on issues he has taught and written about for decades, including:
- The natural right of people to govern themselves
- The justice system's inability to grasp natural law and common sense
- Leading the fight against relativism and abortion
- His conversion from Judaism to Catholicism
This conversation is a serious dose of truth delivered by a rare legendary scholar who doesn't take himself too seriously.
