EVENT: A Conversation with Joyce Vance & Steve Schmidt
Wednesday, June 7, 2023 from 8 - 9 pm EST
I’m thrilled to announce that for our next monthly conversation I will be joined by my fellow Substack writer Joyce Vance of Civil Discourse. In addition to her must-read newsletter, Joyce is a law professional and MSNBC/NBC legal analyst.
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, June 7, 2023, from 8 – 9 pm EST. (By the way, thanks to those who participated in last week’s poll regarding preferred time for events. Evening events from 8 - 9 pm EST were chosen by 66% of respondents.)
We’ll talk about the stress on our institutions and the challenges they face, especially in the context of the diminishment of the rule of law.
Much of what the Nazis did between 1933-1945 was legal – at least under laws they passed. Authoritarian regimes often will try to appear lawful so they can remain within the community of civilized nations. So, it's important to question developments in U.S. law, including the reversal of long-standing precedent, like abortion rights, and the erosion of civil rights, like voting rights. This is especially true when courts reverse course, seemingly more because of changes in personnel than due to changes in the facts and the law. When politics override justice, abuses of political power, for instance in states like Florida, Arizona, and Texas, are often aimed at the most vulnerable populations.
What does it mean to be a rule of law country? Is it ever appropriate to defy a law?
What are we entitled to expect from our courts? Are they living up to that, and if not, what should be done?
What does it mean to have a former president who is under indictment?
These are just some of the many questions and topics that Joyce and Steve will cover during this one-hour conversation, which will be moderated by Suzy Shuster, Emmy Award-winning broadcaster and founder of Magnetic Media Group.
This is event is accessible for ALL subscribers – whether paid or free.
