Issues of the Day: A Delicate Balance

A Delicate Balance: Protecting and Restoring Constitutional Democracy

Professor Andrew Siegel returns to the island for a compelling conversation about how modern politics and partisanship are affecting the traditional roles and powers of the three branches of our government. Set against an historical backdrop, Professor Siegel will address the current perceptions and offer insights about the future of our Constitutional Democracy.

“A Delicate Balance” will focus on: the Judicial Branch and the extent our court system is affected by partisan politics; the role of the Legislative Branch in a time when the Executive Branch wields tremendous power; and an Executive Branch under extreme scrutiny.

Barbara Seitel, past president of the League of Women Voters of Washington State, will moderate a brief Q&A following each segment of the discussion.
