University of Montana Law Professor Rob Natelson, who is also a Senior Fellow at the Independence Institute, a prolific scholar regarding the original understanding of many provisions of the Constitution. In a [1]43-minute podcast, I interviewed him about the meaning of the Necessary and Proper clause.
