Summary: The National Constitution Center presents Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer for a discussion about his new book, "Making Our Democracy Work: A Judge’s View." Building on his previous book, "Active Liberty," Justice Breyer considers questions that are fundamental to our constitutional system and the future of the Supreme Court. He argues that since the nine members of the Court are not elected, they need to reinforce their institutional legitimacy by pragmatically applying unchanging constitutional values to ever-changing circumstances. Adam Liptak, Supreme Court correspondent for The New York Times, leads the discussion. Program recorded on 10/19/10. Questions or comments? Write: programs@constitutioncenter.org
