    Comey Failed To Act In The Public Interest

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, July 16, 2016

    On July 5, FBI Director James Comey delivered a prepared statement summarizing the bureau’s yearlong investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal email system during her tenure as secretary of state.

    'We Are In For A Pretty Long Civil War'

    Research | Articles
    Thursday, October 27, 2016

    In back rooms and think tanks, Republicans are already mourning their party—and plotting the fight over who’s going to be in it after Trump.

    A Poor Guide For Trump's High Court Choices

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, November 28, 2016

    To the chagrin of the vast majority of professors of constitutional law, President-elect Donald Trump has promised to appoint judges to the Supreme Court and throughout the federal judiciary who believe that the Constitution’s original meaning provides authoritative guidance in resolving cases and controversies.

    Can Trump And Constitutional Conservatism Coexist?

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, December 11, 2016

    The idea of a “constitutional conservatism” is back in the news. It came into vogue on the right in response to the pursuit by President Obama—after his victory in the 2008 presidential election and the Democrats’ sweep of both houses of Congress—of ambitious progressive policies.

    A Defense of Obama That Cherry-Picks The Facts

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, January 17, 2017

    In his farewell address last week, President Obama contended that his administration had accomplished more than one could have reasonably expected. But Donald Trump’s election threatens the legacy of the president who aspired to be transformative in the manner of Ronald Reagan.

    In Trump Era, A Chance To Reboot Conservatism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, January 22, 2017

    By his flamboyance, crudity, and eclectic priorities as well as by his explicit statements, President Donald Trump has made it clear that the Republican Party is not identical to conservatism. That has always been true of the modern GOP dominated by Ronald Reagan’s long shadow. But the 2016 divergence was of unprecedented proportions.

    Trump's Rise, Elites' Fall, Rot At The Top In Higher Ed

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, February 10, 2017

    President Donald Trump’s controversial executive order prohibiting nationals from seven countries roiled by jihadism from entering the United States for three months—and the administration’s bungled roll-out of the order—reminded foreign policy elites in both parties why they feared and loathed Trump. As if they needed a reminder. 

    Moderation Is In Short Supply-- And Much Needed

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, April 22, 2017

    Moderation—the tendency to avoid the extremes and strike sensible balances—does not appear to be President Trump’s strong suit. That so much of the opposition to him is bereft of this much-disparaged but essential virtue poses an even more alarming threat to the long-term public interest.

    What 'Fascism' Talk Really Accomplishes

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, May 7, 2017

    The allegation that Donald Trump’s presidency reflects the rise—or resurgence—of fascism in America has little basis in fact. But it is a sure way to amplify the scorn for Republicans gripping many on the left and the resentment of media and academic elites roiling many on the right. Such talk magnifies polarization and further debases American political discourse.

    How Elites Got Us Into Trouble-- And Can Help Get Us Out

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Thursday, June 1, 2017

    In the Trump era, the conviction has spread among elites—especially, but not only, among progressive elites—that the people have failed them. This very conviction, though, is an indication of how American elites have failed the people.

    Confronting The Administrative Power Grab

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, June 11, 2017

    Administrative law is the collection of rules governing the welter of government agencies -- ranging from the Environmental Protection Agency and Food and Drug Administration to the Securities and Exchange Commission -- that are neither legislatures nor courts but which make binding law.

    The People Vs. The Political Professionals

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Tuesday, June 13, 2017

    Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton—as well as his defeat of 16 rivals for the Republican nomination—was nothing if not a repudiation by a significant segment of American voters of rule by elites. Were the people justified?

    Bridging The Conservative Divide

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, June 26, 2017

    Donald Trump’s ascent to the presidency precipitated a rift of unprecedented proportions in American conservatism. To prevent a permanent split, conservatives must recover an appreciation of the enduring tensions that constitute their movement. Too few conservatives, however, are focusing on conciliation.

    Day by Day, Tales That Define America & Earn Trust

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Saturday, July 15, 2017

    An NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist Poll released in late June contains bad news for the country. Only 37 percent of Americans trust the Trump administration “a good amount” or “a great deal.” Worse, substantially fewer—30 percent—trust the media a good amount or a great deal. Worse still is that the public’s distrust is justified.

    Steadfast Defender Of Classical Liberalism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, August 14, 2017

    With the Trump administration careening from controversy to controversy, the denizens of Capitol Hill confirming the people’s low opinion of Congress, and much of elite media validating suspicions that they view themselves not primarily as reliable chroniclers of events but as a valiant political vanguard, it is easy to overlook the ideological pincer movement besieging classical liberalism from left and right. 

    A Liberal Calls Out His Party For Its Identity Politics

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, August 25, 2017

    Following a week of relentless criticism from the mainstream media for ham-handed and vacillating responses to the neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville, President Trump saw his approval rating rise slightly. It’s as if elites have one agenda, and a significant part of the public another.

    A Do-It-Yourself Liberal Education

    Research | Articles
    Tuesday, September 19, 2017

    In the name of social justice and diversity, students at elite colleges are casting aside the very works that probe those topics so deeply. The central authors of the Western tradition—from Plato and Aristotle to Mill and Orwell—are no longer part of the required curriculum in the social sciences and the humanities. Their absence carries a high price.

    What Elites Still Don't Understand About Populism

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Monday, November 27, 2017

    According to prominent members of the progressive elite — and a few members of the conservative elite — the election of Donald Trump signaled the rise in the United States of fascism or racism or both.
