In Search of the Constitution - Edwin Meese & Robert Bork

Bill Moyers speaks with former Attorney General Edwin Meese and Judge Robert Bork about how the “original intent" of the framers of the Constitution should be applied to questions of abortion, presidential powers, and big government. Edwin Meese, one of Ronald Reagan’s top advisors, discusses Presidential power and how Congressional law applies — or does not apply — to the Chief Executive. Robert Bork, a Reagan nominee to the Supreme Court, discusses his conservative jurisprudence and how the Constitution describes the Court’s role.
