Our 2018 convention breakout session: "Safeguarding the Rule of Law" took place on Friday, June 8.

Critics contend that the United States is currently being led by an executive who demonstrates autocratic tendencies, with a record of ignoring established legal processes, dismantling democratic conventions, and flouting norms that help preserve a stable, reliable government. Are alleged violations of the Emoluments
Clauses; attacks on the Mueller investigation, the Justice Department, the judiciary, and the press; and the abandonment of established norms challenging the vitality of the rule of law? If so, what can be done in response?
