Coronavirus and the Constitution ([link removed] )

covid-capital-600 ([link removed] )

The COVID-19 pandemic has raised many constitutional questions that we’ve never really thought about. Can President Trump order a nationwide shutdown? Can state governors really close churches and other peaceful public assemblies? Don’t all these restrictions violate our most basic constitutional rights to travel, to earn a living, and generally to make choices about how best to keep ourselves and our loved ones safe and free?

Join this panel of experts for an online forum to discuss these and other constitutional issues attending the coronavirus emergency.

FEATURING:

- Ilya Shapiro, Director, Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute
- Walter Olson, Senior Fellow, Cato Institute
- Trevor Burrus, Editor-in-Chief, Cato Supreme Court Review, Cato Institute
