SUMMARY:Natural Law and Original Meaning
DESCRIPTION:Event Summary \nOn September 1\, a group of prominent legal scholars joined AEI’s J. Joel Alicea to discuss one of the most timely—and divisive—debates in the conservative legal community: What is the relationship between natural law theory and American constitutionalism? Is the natural law tradition compatible with the doctrine of originalism? \nNotre Dame Law School’s Sherif Girgis began his remarks by defining originalism and the natural law tradition. He then maintained that it is generally possible for a legal system to be originalist without violating the natural law as we understand it. \nNext\, Kevin Walsh of the Catholic University of America outlined concepts fundamental to the natural law tradition: justice\, law\, and jurisdiction. He concluded that an originalism anchored by the classical natural law tradition should presuppose that our constitutional law consists of the original law of the Constitution\, along with any lawful changes since. \nFinally\, Lee Strang of the University of Toledo College of Law explained how the relationship between natural law and originalism became a topic of such lively scholarly interest. He concluded that natural law and originalism are more than just compatible; in his view\, natural law provides an elegant account of the American constitutional tradition. \n—Max Markon \nEvent Description \nNatural law theory is the talk of the town right now among conservative constitutional scholars. But how should we understand this tradition’s relationship to American constitutionalism? And is it compatible with originalism? \nOriginalism’s detractors\, like Harvard Law School’s Adrian Vermeule\, argue that the theory is morally empty and insufficient to create a just society. Originalist natural law theorists counter that originalism is based on moral claims about legitimate authority\, the nature of the common good\, and the particularities of the American constitutional system. \nJoin AEI and the Catholic University of America’s Project on Constitutional Originalism and the Catholic Intellectual Tradition for a discussion on the relationship between originalism and the natural law tradition. \nAgenda\n5:30 p.m. – Introduction: J. Joel Alicea\, Nonresident Fellow\, AEI \n5:35 p.m. – Discussion \nPanelists:\nSherif Girgis\, Associate Professor of Law\, Notre Dame Law School\nLee Strang\, John W.

SUMMARY:“The Progressive Left’s Push to Reset the Fed’s Legal Mandates” with Paul Kupiec
DESCRIPTION:AIER’s Bastiat Society program in Washington\, DC will host an in-person event with Paul Kupiec\, a senior fellow with the American Enterprise Institute in Washington\, DC. \nThe Biden administration and Democrats in Congress are only a few Senate votes away from reimagining the Federal Reserve as an institution that would enforce the progressive Left’s climate-change and income redistribution agendas. Instead of promoting stable prices\, maximum employment\, economic growth and equal opportunity for all\, the Fed would be transformed into an institution that actively diverts bank credit toward politically-favored industries and racial and ethnic groups. Paul Kupiec will examine the prospect of the Federal Reserve mandating new socialist policies and why former Federal Reserve officials have not vocally denounced these developments for what they are: a direct attack on capitalism\, free market driven investment\, and Federal Reserve independence. \nEventbrite registration is required to attend\, register here. Admission fee is $16 (only $8 for full-time students). Light food and beverages will be provided. Cash payments at the door are not accepted. \nSchedule:\n12:00 PM – 12:30 PM: Lunch & Networking\n12:30 PM – 1:15 PM: Speaker Presentation\n1:15 PM – 1:30 PM: Q&A Discussion

SUMMARY:“Central Bank Digital Currencies: A Potential Threat to Freedom” with Norbert Michel
DESCRIPTION:AIER’s Bastiat Society program in Washington DC will host an in-person luncheon event with Norbert Michel\, vice president and director of the Cato Institute’s Center for Monetary and Financial Alternatives in Washington\, DC. \nThe IMF and governments around the world are advocating the transformation of their national currencies into central bank digital currencies or “CBDCs.” Governments favor CBDCs\, because it enhances their power over economic policy and their control over people’s money.

Dr. Michel will also examine the advent of stable coins and the governmental rush to regulate them to the detriment of market freedom. \nEventbrite registration is required to attend\, register here. Admission fee is $16 (only $8 for full-time students). Light food and beverages will be provided. Cash payments at the door are not accepted. \nSchedule:\n12:00 PM – 12:30 PM: Lunch & Networking\n12:30 PM – 1:15 PM: Speaker Presentation\n1:15 PM – 1:30 PM: Q&A Discussion
