Happy Constitution Day from ICAP!

Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection
GEORGETOWN LAW

It’s Constitution Day—a day we love each year at the Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection.  Actually, every day is Constitution Day for us, because we spend each day fighting for constitutional rights and values.

The stakes in the battle for the rule of law have never been higher.  So we’ve been extra-busy.  In just the past couple of weeks, we’ve continued challenging the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant policies, defending congressional oversight powers and meaningful checks and balances, alerted local officials to the unlawful and dangerous nature of unsanctioned private militia activity, and urged courts to provide the transparency to the public that the First Amendment requires.ICAP also continues to lend our voice to enhance public understanding of burning legal issues of the day.  Check out ICAP Legal Director Mary McCord explaining the law applicable to private militias on Diane Rehm’s podcast, as well as ICAP Faculty Director Neal Katyal and Executive Director Joshua Geltzer discussing what the latest high-profile resignation from Trump’s Justice Department means for the rule of law in the New York Times.
