On March 27, Twenty LWVSP members gathered at the Hallie Q. Brown Center to review, discuss, and come to consensus on key items for the national League’s study on the Federal Judiciary. The conversation was informed, lively, and revelatory. We await the final official position from LWVUS, which will be released in June. We hope that the report is ready for distribution by our LWVSP Annual Member Meeting on June 9.

Were you unable to attend the consensus meeting? Here is a sample of the conversation. "Thinking about stare decisis and the stability of the law, Citizens United will soon be (if it isn't already) settled law due to the length of time since the original ruling." Needless to say, this and other statements led to spirited discussion. It was a very good conversation.

Members who were unable to attend but still want to review the preparatory materials can contact Patrick Finnegan at lwvstpaul@lwvmn.org for the links.
