The American Constitution Society Puget Sound Lawyer Chapter presents Boston Globe reporter Charlie Savage, whose book, Takeover, goes behind the scenes with the Administration lawyers who secretly devised ways for Presidents to circumvent laws and treaties. Savage lifts a veil concealing the executive power motivations behind Bush's picks for the Supreme Court and paints an astonishing portrait of rising executive branch secrecy. Interwoven with this fast-paced, character-driven narrative, Savage provides clear explanations of the Bush team's radical theories about unchecked executive power and shows how they converted these theories into precedents that all future Presidents can cite. US Bank Room of Multnomah County Central Library, 801 SW 10th Avenue. RSVP
