Please join us for Restoring the Constitution, the first installment of ObamaSalons. Christian Halliburton, a professor of constitutional law in the Seattle University School of Law, will offer his perspective on the role of the U.S. Constitution, the importance of habeas corpus and the ongoing legal issues surrounding detentions at Guantanamo Bay. Professor Halliburton will talk about Obama's background as a constitutional law professor and lead a discussion about what having a constitutional expert in the White House could mean for restoring America's legal foundation.
ObamaSalons are a series of moderated discussions intended to highlight Senator Obama's policy positions on such important issues as the Constitution, foreign policy and the environment. Sponsored by the grassroots organization 43rd Legislative District for Obama, these monthly salon-style events will feature local community members with a unique view into some of the Senator's policy positions. The moderated discussion will be followed by an audience Q&A. Located at Capitol Hill's Richard Hugo House, ObamaSalons take place on the third Tuesday of each month through October.Drinks and light snacks will be available for sale by way of Hugo House.
