Noam Chomsky Glenn Greenwald: With Liberty and Justice For Some

Published on Feb 12, 2013

Former constitutional rights lawyer Glenn Greenwald contends that the United States has a two-tiered judicial system, one for the "haves" and one for the "have-nots." Mr.?Greenwald presents his argument by tracing the evolution of judicial inequality, from President Richard Nixon's pardon for the Watergate scandal to what the author deems were economic and political crimes committed during the George W. Bush administration.?The author posits that both political parties and the media are culpable for creating an unequal judicial system.?Glenn Greenwald presented his thoughts in conversation with political activist Noam Chomsky.?They also responded to questions from members of the audience.?This was a special event of the Harvard Book Store, held at the Brattle Theatre in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Don't like Greenwald, and have a hard time listening to Chomsky.
Personally, I don't think that there could be two smarter folks to talk about this.
Oh well, their loss.
