Hits, Runs, and Errors: Obama's Civil Liberties Scorecard
On Sunday, June 7, at 2:30 pm, in the Ferguson Library in Stamford, Emanuel Margolis will speak to the Fairfield County Chapter of the ACLU-CT. During his talk, "Barack Obama's Civil Liberties Scorecard: Hits, Runs, and Errors," Margolis will discuss the Obama Administration's efforts in confronting the dilemmas of balancing our national security and constitutional liberties. He will review the legacies and challenges which have daunted the incoming administration from the beginning. Margolis will analyze what we can do, as ACLU members, to help improve the prospects for civil liberties.

He has published numerous articles concerning human rights issues and criminal law, writes a regular column on human rights in The Connecticut Law Tribune, and is an adjunct professor of Civil Rights and First Amendment Law at Quinnipiac University School of Law.
