"Reexamining the Scope of Executive Power: A Debate" -- Tonight in NYC
For New York-area readers, the American Constitution Society and the Brennan Center for Justice are co-sponsoring an "intra-progressive" debate tonight at the Brennan Center, featuring Marty Flaherty from Fordham and yours truly. In particular, we'll explore the constitutional legitimacy of recent assertions of executive power, including American participation in military action in Libya, the use of drone strikes to kill terrorism suspects, and the indefinite detention provisions of the NDAA.

For New York-area readers, the American Constitution Society and the Brennan Center for Justice are co-sponsoring an "intra-progressive" debate tonight at the Brennan Center, featuring Marty Flaherty from Fordham and yours truly. In particular, we'll explore the constitutional legitimacy of recent assertions of executive power, including American participation in military action in Libya, the use of drone strikes to kill terrorism suspects, and the indefinite detention provisions of the NDAA. At a more fundamental level, I suspect we'll spend some time discussing the similarities and differences between this Administration and its predecessors, and what both have to say more generally about the future of executive power.
