As federalism becomes an increasingly important principle of our constitutional structure, Chief Judge Jeffrey Sutton of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit has published a timely book titled, Who Decides? States as Laboratories of Constitutional Experimentation (Oxford, 2021). Judge Sutton, a former law clerk to Justices Lewis Powell and Antonin Scalia, argues that constitutional law in America–encompassing the systems of all 51 governments–should have a role in assessing the right balance of power among all branches of our state and federal governments.

A distinguished group of legal thinkers and practitioners joins us to discuss this book.
