Please join the ACS Dallas-Ft. Worth Lawyer Chapter ACS for a conversation with ACS President Russ Feingold on Wednesday, Sept. 20 at 7:00 p.m. at Half Price Books. There will be a small reception starting at 6:30 p.m. so that you can have a chance to chat and mingle with Russ.

Russ Feingold will discuss the state of American democracy and his book, The Constitution in Jeopardy: An Unprecedented Effort to Rewrite Our Fundamental Law and What We Can Do About It. Over the last two decades, a fringe plan to call a convention under the Constitution’s amendment mechanism—the nation’s first ever—has inched through statehouses.

Over the past two decades, a fringe plan to call the nation’s first ever convention under the Constitution's amendment mechanism has inched through statehouses. In his book, Feingold examines this quiet effort to radically change our constitution. If realized, the plan would allow convention delegates nearly unlimited authority to draft alterations to anything from voting and free speech rights to regulatory and foreign policy powers. He distills extensive legal and historical research and examines the grave risks inherent in this effort, while considering the role of constitutional amendment in modern life and offering a way forward.
