DESCRIPTION:Thursday, July 25, 2024, noon - 1 PM PT (3 – 4 PM ET)\n\nA law last 
 updated 150 years ago gives presidents dangerous authority to use the U.S. 
 military as a domestic police force. The Insurrection Act has virtually no 
 limits on when and how this power can be used, making it a loaded weapon in 
 the hands of any leader, Democrat or Republican, who is tempted to abuse 
 it. \n\nWithout urgent reforms, the law is a threat to civil liberties — 
 and American democracy.\n\nJoin Brennan Center for Justice for a live 
 virtual panel discussion that will shed light on a president’s alarming 
 powers under the Insurrection Act and examine possible solutions to prevent 
 the law’s misuse.\n\nSpeakers:\n\nHawa Allan, Author, Insurrection: 
 Rebellion, Civil Rights, and the Paradoxical State of Black 
 Citizenship\n\nJack Goldsmith, Learned Hand Professor of Law, Harvard Law 
 School\n\nJoseph Nunn, Counsel, Brennan Center Liberty & National Security 
 Program\n\nModerator: Elizabeth Goitein, Senior Director, Brennan Center 
 Liberty & National Security Program\n
