Episode Description

Former US Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy said the high court is harmed by “too much partisanship,” a problem he blames on presidents and a confirmation process that increasingly focuses on politics over temperament.

He speaks with David Rubenstein about his three decades on the bench, his landmark opinions, including the decision that legalized same-sex marriage and his belief in civility and the rule of law. He's on this week's episode of The David Rubenstein Show: Peer to Peer Conversations. This was recorded at the 92nd Street Y in New York on October 12.
