A Conversation with Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch

Sitting U.S. Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch returns to the Engage Bush Center, presented by NexPoint, to discuss his new book, "Over Ruled: The Human Toll of Too Much Law."

America has always been a nation of laws, but in the book, Gorsuch suggests that today our laws have grown so vast and reach so deeply into our lives that it’s worth asking: In our reverence for law, have we gone too far? Over just the last few decades, laws in the U.S. have exploded in number; they are increasingly complex; and the punishments they carry are increasingly severe. Some of these laws come from our elected representatives, but many now come from agency officials largely insulated from democratic accountability.

Moderated by Bush Center President and CEO Ken Hersh.
