Trees have the remarkable ability to pass knowledge down to succeeding generations and to survive the ravages of climate change, if only weâd let them alone, according to the German forester Peter Wohlleben. In The Power of Trees (translated by Jane Billinghurst) he explains the significance of leaving ancient forests untouched, and is scathing about the failures in forestry management and the planting of non-native trees for profit.
Jill Butler is an ancient tree specialist and a trustee of the Tree Register of the British Isle which records the nationâs âchampion treesâ â the tallest and biggest trees of their species. But sheâs also keen on getting the public involved in helping to find and care for some of the countryâs oldest trees with the citizen science project, Ancient Tree Inventory, run by the Woodland Trust.
The healing powers of ancient trees is celebrated in stories throughout history, including the great Icelandic sagas. In The Norse Myths That Shape the Way We Think Carolyne Larrington, Professor of medieval European Literature explores the renewal that comes from the roots of Yggdrasill, the World Tree.
âThree generations of imbeciles are enoughâ were the infamous words U.S. Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. wrote in 1927. In Buck v. Bell, an almost unanimous Court upheld a Virginia law allowing the sterilization of people the state found to be âsocially inadequateâ and âfeebleminded.â This landmark decision allowed the eugenics movement to take full effect, with multiple states passing similar laws.Â
In Three Generations, No Imbeciles: Eugenics, the Supreme Court, and Buck v. Bell (Johns Hopkins UP, 2022), Dr. Paul Lombardo unpacks the case of an individual â Carrie Buck â to argue that the case not only represents the collective power of the eugenics movement in the early 20th century but an individual miscarriage of justice. Using extensive archival sources, Dr. Lombardo demonstrates that Carrie Buck was neither a âmoral degenerateâ or âfeeble-minded.â She was a rape victim of sound mind. Her sterilization was based on fraudulent evidence. The powerful eugenics lobby manufactured a case â and a sympathetic court gave them a precedent that justified Carrie Buckâs sterilization â and over 60,000 sterilizations in the following decades.
Three Generations, No Imbeciles frames the history of sterilization as essential to understanding contemporary legal fights over birth control and abortion. Does the constitutionâs promise of âlibertyâ include the right to become pregnant or end a pregnancy? Dr. Lombardoâs epilogue and afterward outlines the connections between Buck and modern cases involving abortion, disability rights, and reparations for those sterilized. Originally published in 2008, the book has been updated in 2022 with a terrific epilogue and afterward with an eye towards contemporary events in reproductive politics.
Dr. Paul A. Lombardo is Regentsâ Professor and Bobby Lee Cook Professor of Law at the Center for Law, Health & Society at Georgia State University. He has published extensively on topics in health law, medico-legal history, and bioethics and is best known for his work on the legal history of the American eugenics movement. His website houses the images and all documents discussed in the podcast including the petition for rehearing created by the National Council of Catholic Men.

If Americaâs southern border is to be secured, Congress must âuse the power of the purse to bring the president to his knees and [make him] sit at the table,â Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, says.Â
President Joe Biden's border policies are enriching China and harming the American people, Roy argues.Â
âThe fact of the matter is we know that 90% of the precursors or the finished product fentanyl is coming from China,â Roy says, adding that Bidenâs border policies are serving China âbecause they make money on it [and by] giving China a foothold in Mexico.â
Congress should impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and hold him accountable for the crisis at the southern border, Roy says.Â
âHe lied to us,â Roy says of Mayorkas. âWe know that he knew full well that he didn't have operational control [of the border] when he said he did.â
Roy joins âThe Daily Signal Podcastâ to explain the case for impeaching Mayorkas and what Republicans are doing to secure the border.Â
