On Tuesday, we'll take a break from our historical tour of Presidents and discuss a particular executive policy -- the Military Commissions Act of 2006 -- and related concerns over habeas corpus and other civil liberties. You should read the handout I distributed in class. If you missed class, you can find the handout materials at the following links:
This discussion is inspired by the talk that will be given earlier in the day by Vince Warren, Executive Director of the Center for Constitutional Rights (the source of the first three factsheets listed above). The talk will be held in the Regina Peruggi room on Tuesday, Feb. 19, at 1pm. (A documentary about the US and torture, "Taxi to the Darkside," will be shown at 11am in the Peruggi room as well.) You are strongly encouraged (although not required) to attend.
