I just saw an awesome panel discussion by the ABA

titled 2022: Democracy in Peril — How Can We Change the Course for America? panelists include Michael Luttig and Kathleen Jamison.

It's about an hour but the time flew by for me. Everyone was succinct and stated their points with so much intelligence and insight. I begin to think that lawyers can get us out of this mess.

Democracy in Peril — How Can We Change the Course for America?” was held on Aug. 8 at the House of Delegates two-day session during the American Bar Association Annual Meeting. Panelists included Nancy Rogers (moderator), former Ohio attorney general; Bakari Sellers, Strom Law Firm, LLC, in Columbia, S.C.; Kathleen Jamieson, professor, University of Pennsylvania; Steven Levitsky, professor, Harvard University; and J. Michael Luttig, retired judge, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. The panel program was sponsored by the House of Delegates Committee on Issues of Concern to the Legal Profession.
