Constitution Day Panel 1: COVID and the Constitution
What should we think about the broad delegations of power from legislatures to executives to implement new and draconian rules in response to COVID-19? Those delegations were designed to meet temporary emergencies—that is, things that had to be addressed before the legislature could act. But they are now being used to avoid legislative accountability altogether, and not just for a short-term response, but for the long haul. And it has extended beyond elected governors, to unelected health officials as well.
Panelists:
John Eastman - John is the founding director of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence at the Claremont Institute. He was an early Publius Fellow at the Claremont Institute, and a former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
