Description

TODAY'S MAJOR RADIO talk shows are ongoing infomercials for political parties, but it hasn't always been that way. The "Manion Forum," a national radio show founded by my father in 1954, took bipartisan aim at whoever was in power--Republican or Democrat--on the basis of solid conservative principles. Those ideals didn't change for the 25 years that the "Forum" was on the air, and they haven't changed since. In fact, the central constitutional issue that gave rise to the "Manion Forum" has played a vital role in American politics since 9/11. It all started with the Bricker Amendment. On April 6, 1953, my father and Eisenhower's secretary of state, John Foster Dulles, squared off before the Senate Judiciary Committee over an amendment proposed by Ohio senator John Bricker. It was designed to forbid secret "executive compacts" like those FDR and Truman had made with Stalin during World War II. Bricker aimed to restore the constitutional requirement that such agreements be publicly debated as treaties and be consented to by two-thirds of the Senate.
