Beyond Politics: Facts and the Supreme Court of the United States with Joan Biskupic
In-person event, Sept. 28, Washington, D.C.
Despite being one of the most powerful and influential institutions in America, the Supreme Court finds its rulings mired in misinformation, from abortion to gun control and from climate protection to religious freedoms.
Few journalists have a handle on the true facts better than author and CNN legal analyst Joan Biskupic.
Join Poynter and PolitiFact for an elegant, private event with Biskupic in the gorgeous riverside Sequoia D.C. restaurant and event venue. We’ll sort fact from fiction about the nine justices and their constitutional oaths to reign with integrity, uphold the law of the land and administer the will of the people.
Cost: $75.
