Saturday, February 22, 9-11 AM
In the age of the 24-hour news cycle, strained relations between the partisan forces in Congress are being amplified across the nation like never before. Following the New-York Historical Society's Friday-night screening of Frank Capra's political drama "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington," experts in constitutional law and legal history (Kenji Yoshino, Robert Post, and Linda Greenhouse) examine the interplay between the U.S. Constitution, Congress, and the media.
