Online Zoom Event
The talk will start with an emphasis on the forefathers and the fact that they didn't write the Constitution or any laws with a Trump-like figure in mind as President. We will talk about how and where the system was stressed by Trump and what may happen to remedy that in the future by making laws to contain someone who is amoral. Here we will discuss the role of SCOTUS. We will delve into the individual personalities and take a look at the 9 circuits. The session will close with a review of how our system differs from a Parliamentary system and why the independence of a Judiciary Branch is essential for a thriving democracy.
Food for Thought is a speaker series that welcomes a distinguished lineup of EMPA Faculty approaching the Covid-19 crisis and social justice reform. Each week a speaker will present their recommendation paper, highlight their perspective on the crisis, and engage in a dialogue with EMPA students, alumni, and other faculty members.
We are in a pivotal moment - full of opportunities for policymakers to transform lessons from the crisis into concrete benefits for their communities. While we cannot come together physically to exchange ideas, we believe we can leverage the virtual tools at our disposal to activate stakeholders and build out practical and innovative solutions to the crisis at hand.
Zoom link will be sent upon registration.
