Join us for an engaging conversation with Arthur Mitchell, Deputy Director of Litigation & Policy at the National Redistricting Foundation. Arthur will share insights on the Foundation’s mission to support fair and equitable map drawing and will lead a discussion of recent redistricting developments across the country, such as mid-decade redistricting efforts in California, Texas, and Missouri.
ACS is a 501 (c)3 non-profit, non-partisan organization, which does not support or oppose candidates or political parties.
ACS will host former prosecutor, J.P. Cooney, for a conversation on the politicization of the Department of Justice. J.P. was a career prosecutor in the Department, and during this event, he will speak about his experience there, both before and after President Trump as well as compare his experiences during President Trump's first term and his second. Additionally, he will speak broadly about the consequences on the law of allowing politics into the DOJ, using the recent resignations and indictments as case studies.
ACS is excited to host a Supreme Court Oral Argument Listening Session on Learning Resources, Inc. v. Trump. Information about the case can be found on the SCOTUS blog. The issue is: whether the International Emergency Economic Powers Act authorizes the president to impose tariffs.
