The thought of William Winslow Crosskey (1894-1968) is fundamental to the Just Third Way — and not because CESJ’s president, Norman G. Kurland, was a student of his in the late 1950s at the University of Chicago. Crosskey took his law degree at a Yale still under the influence of the rigorous Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld (1879-1918, Fundamental Legal Conceptions, 1919) and was brought to Chicago by Robert Maynard Hutchins.
As the YouTube blurb states, “In 1953, a brilliant law professor published a massive tome on the original meaning of the Constitution [William Winslow Crosskey, Politics and the Constitution in the History of the United States. Chicago, Illinois: University of Chicago Press, 1953], arguing that the Supreme Court and modern politics had abandoned the true vision of the Founders. What did he say, why have his conclusions been forgotten, and what can we learn from them today?”
