  • Jim Pfiffner, "Power Play: President Bush and the Constitution"
    March 24th at 1:30 in the JC Cinema

He has denied the writ of Habeas Corpus to individuals, he has evaded U.S. laws against torture, he has ordered secret surveillance of Americans, which is against the law, and he has used signing statements to undermine Article I of the Constitution. This talk will examine these policies and suggest that the precedents set are dangerous to the American Republic.
