Two years after the September 11 terrorist attacks, and on the 212th anniversary of the Bill of Rights, America's resolve is again being tested. From the early days of the republic, America has weathered periods of crisis that have tested its fidelity to the Constitution and the rule of law. In light of controversy over the Patriot Act, the detention of American citizens as enemy combatants, and Guantanamo Bay, has the government gone too far?
On December 17 at AEI, please join Michael Chertoff, U.S. Court of Appeals Judge and former head of the Justice Department's Criminal Division; Professor David Cole of Georgetown University; former Clinton White House chief of staff John Podesta (TBC), former U.S. D.C. Circuit Judge Patricia Wald, Professor Ruth Wedgwood of Johns Hopkins University, AEI Visiting Scholar John Yoo, and other former government officials, judges, and law professors for a roundtable discussion examining these issues.
