Hey everybody, Tom Woods here. It is episode 2673 of the Tom Woods show. We have our old friend Kevin Goodsman with us. He's a professor of history at Western Connecticut State University. He's the author of numerous books. He wrote a book with me called Who Killed the Constitution. Must have been very, very hard to follow up with that, but he did so all the same with numerous

other titles, including Thomas Jefferson Revolutionary and James Madison in the Making of

0:44.1

America. But we've also talked about his book, The Jeffersonians. There's so much Kevin Goodsman

1:45.8

And the response to this has been, well, this, of course, is a betrayal of the sacred principle of the

1:54.4

separation of church and state that is so central to our constitutional order. But of course,

2:00.8

these being red states and red legislatures,

2:04.2

of course, we expect them to be contemptuous of our Constitution. So we hope that what liberalism

2:10.2

remains on the Supreme Court might vindicate this great American principle. So that is roughly
