Torture. Extraordinary rendition. Warrantless wiretapping. Due process. These controversial issues implicate some of our most fundamental constitutional principles and traditions. Join Bruce Fein and Rocky Anderson for this unique, fascinating opportunity to become more deeply informed about the historical and legal underpinnings of some of the most crucial issues for our nation’s future.

Bruce Fein is a constitutional law scholar and served as Associate Deputy Attorney General in the Reagan Administration.

Rocky Anderson served as mayor of Salt Lake City from 2000-2008, and is the founder and executive director of High Road for Human Rights, a national human rights citizen education and advocacy organization. A former litigator, Anderson has led numerous public campaigns, rallies, and advocacy efforts to achieve accountability for governmental wrongdoing in the "war on terror," and to restore the rule of law in our nation.
