Constitution Day in the 612
Earlier today, I got the chance to speak on a great panel for Constitution Day. In addition to the panelists described in the link, we were joined by Michael Paulsen, a top Constitutional scholar, and Joel Nichols, who has just finished a book on law and religion which is being published by the Cambridge University Press.
I was the new kid, but it felt great to be back in the saddle and talking about these issues I find so intriguing. St. Thomas has a wonderfully vibrant academic culture, and the fact that the room was packed with students for a mid-day presentation tells me that they appreciate it, as well.
Meanwhile, back in the 254, Joltin' Jesse Davis has been tasked with driving Prof. Stephen Carter from the airport and back tomorrow, which will allow him four hours with one of the best minds in the country.
