Panelists:
Lani Guinier - University of Pennsylvania Law School
Robert Bork - senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute

Man, then you can just look at us now. So many things are so similar, yet so much of it has become more extreme. Often people don't learn from history and those who do don't have enough influence to make any difference in the system.
