The Constitution and the 2020 Election (Constitution Day Briefing Call)

On September 17, ACS held a discussion of what’s at stake and what the candidates should be asked as they seek our nation’s highest office. As the presidential election heats up, the future of reproductive justice, voting rights, and criminal justice, among other constitutional commitments, are all at stake. Regardless of who is elected, the president will be asked not only to articulate their vision of the Constitution and who is included in “We the People,” but will also have an opportunity to make that vision and these commitments real through the appointment of judges.
