Did you know? The Leadership Conference led the fight 60 years ago to pass the most sweeping civil rights legislation Congress has ever enacted. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 ended "legalized" discrimination across America. But there are a wealthy and powerful few who want to turn back the clock on this progress. They are taking our hard-won civil rights laws and protections to court so extremist judges and justices will roll back our rights and undermine democracy. Read our new brief about The Leadership Conference’s history with this landmark law and the work ahead to combat threats to our civil rights and democracy. https://lnkd.in/eq54uj_U

The Great Hearts Institute has invited Andrew Porwancher, Professor, School of Civic & Economic Thought & Leadership, Arizona State University, to deliver our Inaugural Constitution Day Address, “The Constitution: Hidden Truths and Enduring Myths”, supported by a Constitution Day Grant from the Jack Miller Center. 🇺🇸 JOIN US IN PERSON: https://lnkd.in/gXnHsEAq Professor Porwancher will discuss the history behind the Constitution, which he contends, “is not merely academic. It shapes our lives and liberties today. But popular understandings of the Constitution often neglect the historical record. What did the framers really mean by the Establishment Clause? What little-known constitutional clause did even more than the First Amendment to shape religious liberty in America? What can the peculiar origins of the Second Amendment teach us about gun rights? This lecture will explore historical evidence that can help us refine constitutional debates as old as the republic itself.” 🇺🇸 STREAM THE ADDRESS: https://lnkd.in/gDFtcsf7 #constitutionday #constitution

Fantastic article by Joseph!
My comment, “Justice Kagan’s Political Process Dissent Evolution,” has been published in the LSU Law Journal for Social Justice & Policy. The Supreme Court has transformed into the most conservative Court in generations. This article examines Justice Kagan's response through the lens of three pivotal political process dissents. These cases show that she has turned more to dissent (with their frequency and intensity steadily increasing) and has a heightening emphasis on defending precedent. In addition to fighting for her preferred outcome, this shift shows an effort to defend the Court’s waning public legitimacy. I’m thrilled to contribute to the discourse on the Supreme Court’s legitimacy and on the motivations behind dissenting. I appreciate everyone’s help in getting this piece to where it is, especially the editors at LSU Law's JSJP, Prof. Gillian Metzger, and Prof. Donald Verrilli.
