Judge Napolitano at NYU Law

Judge Andrew Napolitano:

"Do We Still Have a Constitution?"

Monday, April 21, 6:00 p.m.

New York University School of Law 

245 Sullivan St., NY 10012 (Furman Hall, 9th Floor) 

Judge Andrew Napolitano, one of America's staunchest advocates for individual liberty, will discuss the present-day assault on the Constitution, from NSA spying, to Obamacare's mandates, to the President's rule by executive fiat. What does it mean to have a Constitution in a world where natural rights -- speech, press, worship, self-defense, travel, bodily integrity, privacy, etc. -- are constantly infringed by the President and Congress, and the courts abide by refusing to enforce constitutional guarantees?
