11 - 23 - 17 - Janet - Mefferd - Today-Timothy Sandefur (Politics)Melanie Kirkpatrick (Thanksgiving)

Summary: We live in a free country, so why do we need the government's permission to do so much? Timothy Sandefur, vice president for litigation at the Goldwater Institute, joins me to talk about it and his book, "The Permission Society." Plus: Melanie Kirkpatrick, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, discusses her book, "Thanksgiving: The Holiday at the Heart of the American Experience." That's next time on Thursday's JANET MEFFERD TODAY.
