COMPAS [Conversations On Morality, Politics And Society] panel: “Can the Government Really Do That? Democracy and Emergency Powers”

Friday, November 13, 1-2pm, this on-line event requires advance registration

The response to the COVID-19 pandemic has largely been carried out through executive and administrative orders. Is this an appropriate way to make public policy? Under what circumstances can the use of emergency powers be justified in a democracy? What limits should be placed on those powers, and how should those limits be enforced?

Panelists:

• Elizabeth Goitein, Co-Director, Liberty and National Security Program, Brennan Center for Justice

• Philip Wallach, Resident Scholar, American Enterprise Institute
