SUMMARY:2022 Constitution Day Lecture featuring Dr. Jasmine Farrier
DESCRIPTION:
 Join Dr. Jasmine Farrier, Professor of Political 
 Science at the University of Louisville, for 
 this year's Constitution Day Lecture. Dr. 
 Farrier's lecture will explore topics addressed 
 in her book Constitutional Dysfunction on 
 Trial.\n
 \n
 Can the federal courts fix a broken 
 separation of powers system? Focusing on five 
 decades of lawsuits brought by House and Senate 
 members that challenge presidential unilateralism, 
 Dr. Farrier provides a new diagnostic 
 lens on imbalanced powers across a diverse 
 array of partisan and policy landscapes. But 
 these lawsuits often backfire - leaving Congress 
 as an institution even more disadvantaged, 
 regardless of party in power. This talk will 
 discuss ways that these suits are more symptoms 
 of constitutional dysfunction than the 
 cure. Summarizing her latest book, Constitutional 
 Dysfunction on Trial shows federal judges 
 will not and cannot restore the separation 
 of powers system alone. Fifty years of congressional 
 atrophy cannot be reversed in court.\n
 \n
 Constitution 
 Day commemorates the anniversary 
 of the 1787 signing of the U.S. Constitution 
 and is intended to increase student awareness 
 and appreciation of this important document.
