Description
Is there a rhyme and reason to the order of our essential rights and liberties? Are our rights equal in value and importance or do some hold more weight than others?This is what Michael McConnell will focus on in his upcoming free lecture. "Michael McConnell Director of the Constitutional Law Center, Stanford Law School; Senior Fellow, The Hoover Institution
Among the many rights and freedoms that Americans enjoy, what is the correct constitutional status of religious freedom? Should it be a “first freedom” and have priority over other rights or is it equal?
These questions are at the heart of the current national debate over religious freedom, contraception, and the new federal health-care law.
Former federal appellate judge and constitutional law expert McConnell will share his thoughts on this compelling issue."
