In observation of Constitution Day 2009, political science faculty members, Dr. Jonathan Chausovsky and Dr. James Hurtgen join several of their students in a panel discussion of the Constitution and the Supreme Court.
Students share their thoughts on listening to Supreme Court Associate Justice Anthony Kennedy at the Chautauqua Institution on August 27 and how this has informed their views on the Constitution and the role of the Supreme Court.
Justice Kennedy argued that there are at least two versions of liberty that inform the US Constitution but sometimes clash, one emphasizing rights associated with freedom of personal expression, the other with the freedom we associate with active participation in a self-governing community.
The discussion will be moderated by Dr. David Rankin, Associate Professor of Political Science, and is co-sponsored by the Department of Political Science, the American Democracy Project, the Political Science Association, and Students for Liberty. Refreshments will be provided.
