Texas Federalist Society is hosting a debate on the legality and prudence of the recent (and ongoing) bombings by the Trump Administration of boats that it claims are carrying drugs and heading for the United States. We will host Doug Bandow from the CATO Institute and Professor Adam Klein from the University of Texas School of Law to debate this issue. Chick-fil-a will be provided!
Join us to celebrate the launch of Fault Lines in the Constitution: The Framers, Their Fights, and the Flaws that Affect Us Today (3rd ed.), co-authored by Cynthia and Sandy Levinson. There will be two panels and opportunities for Q&A and discussion. Speakers include the authors, Justin Dyer (Texas), Pamela Karlan (Stanford), Meira Levinson (Harvard), and more.
From the publisher: “Many of the political issues we struggle with today have their roots in the US Constitution. This book explores 21 of the fault lines that were created in 1787 and are still causing problems today.”
