Segment Topics:
The Preventive State: The Challenge of Preventing Serious Harms While Preserving Essential Liberties (EncounterBooks, May 20, 2025).
In it, Professor Dershowitz suggests an overarching jurisprudential framework that would set limits to the ballooning power of what he calls “the preventive state.”
- What makes The Preventive State your magnum opus? Why did Justice Breyer say we would thank you for writing this book?
- What are the most cataclysmic dangers Americans now face?
- What are the most dangerous threats to our liberty?
- How can your proposed jurisprudence strike the appropriate balance?
- What does a jurisprudence look like that would protect society while limiting the intrusive tools of law enforcement and justice?
- If it were available in the past, how could your concept of jurisprudence have changed American history?
- In today’s world, filled with cataclysmic threats and potential harms, is the protection of society feasible without compromising individual liberties?
- In today’s divisive culture, is there any way that both Democrats and Republicans will embrace your point of view?
- Is autocracy justifiable for protecting the common good and saving lives?
- Looking back to the Bush administration, was their memo condoning torture of terrorist suspects justified?
- What are the most egregious examples of how “the preventive state” has violated American civil liberties in the 21st Century?
- Are there justifiable limits to freedom of speech? What do you think of Face the Nation Margaret Brennan’s statements linking the Holocaust to freedom of speech? Does she have a point?
- What is the ancient rabbinic wisdom on prevention that still applies today?

- The "One, Big, Beautiful Bill" cleared the House by ONE VOTE; is that a concern?
