April Breakfast Meeting - Robert A. Levy Speaker - Cato Institute

Robert A. Levy
Click Here to Register
Join us Friday, April 5th at 7:30 am as we welcome Robert A Levy to speak to us at our breakfast meeting. Robert A. Levy was, for 14 years, chairman of the board of directors at the Cato Institute. He joined Cato as senior fellow in constitutional studies in 1997 after 25 years in business. The Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies is named in his honor.
Toward a Better Constitution
Bob Levy will discuss how the U.S. Constitution should be interpreted — analyzing the views of liberals and conservatives, and explaining how those views differ from the libertarian perspective embraced by legal scholars at the Cato Institute, where Bob chaired the board for many years. Additionally, Bob will compare and contrast two leading theories of constitutional interpretation: originalism and “the living constitution.” He’ll also examine several controversial constitutional questions, describe how the Supreme Court has occasionally subverted the document’s original design, and recommend three constitutional amendments – involving the taxing power, interstate commerce, and the administrative state.
Full Bio:
Bob Levy was, for 14 years, chairman of the board of directors at the Cato Institute. He is now chairman emeritus. Bob joined Cato as senior fellow in constitutional studies in 1997 after 25 years in business. The Institute’s Robert A. Levy Center for Constitutional Studies is named in his honor. He has also served on boards of the Federalist Society, the Foundation for Government Accountability, and the Institute for Justice. Bob received his PhD in business from the American University in 1966, then founded CDA Investment Technologies, a major provider of investment information and software. At age 50, after leaving CDA in 1991, Bob went to George Mason law school, where he was chief articles editor of the law review and class valedictorian. He received his JD degree in 1994. The next two years he clerked for Judge Royce Lamberth on the US District Court and Judge Douglas Ginsburg on the US Court of Appeals, both in Washington, DC.
For many years, Bob was an adjunct professor of law at Georgetown University. His writing has appeared in the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Washington Post, National Review, and many other publications. He has discussed public policy on national radio and TV programs, including ABC’s Nightline, Fox’s The O’Reilly Factor, PBS’s Newshour, and NBC’s Today Show. Bob’s latest book, co-authored with William Mellor, is The Dirty Dozen: How 12 Supreme Court Cases Radically Expanded Government and Eroded Freedom. Bob served as co-counsel in District of Columbia v. Heller, the successful Supreme Court challenge to Washington, D.C.’s gun ban.

Jim DeMint - "Building a Conservative Culture in Washington"
2024-03-01 07:30 - 09:00 | Naples Hilton, 5111 Tamiami Trail No, Naples, Florida, 34103
Click Here to RSVP
Join Us – Friday, March 1st at 7:30 am, as we bring Jim DeMint to substitute for Mark Meadows cancellation.
Jim DeMint has fought tirelessly for freedom, prosperity, and traditional American values against the Washington swamp for over two decades. Today, he leads and trains a new generation of conservative warriors as Chairman of the Conservative Partnership Institute.
DeMint represented South Carolina in the U.S. House (1999-2005) and U.S. Senate (2005-2013). Known for policy innovation, he authored leading conservative reforms to health care, education, taxes, and entitlements. DeMint garnered national acclaim from conservatives for leading efforts to ban congressional earmarks, the source of billions of dollars of wasteful spending for decades which had led to corruption and widespread abuse. He also successfully led the fight to stop the McCain-Kennedy amnesty bill in 2007. DeMint is also the Founder of the Senate Conservatives Fund, which played a major role in the election of many of the Senate’s leading conservatives like Mike Lee, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, and Tom Cotton.
DeMint then served as the President of The Heritage Foundation for four years, taking the organization to new heights of influence. Under DeMint’s direction, Heritage played a major role in the Trump transition team, with the policy series “Mandate for Leadership” used as the basis for the President’s first budget and numerous other administration reforms. During DeMint’s tenure, Heritage partnered with the Federalist Society to create a list of possible Supreme Court judicial nominations that culminated in the confirmation of Justice Neil Gorsuch. President Trump appointed DeMint to the White House Economic Advisory Board in 2020.
DeMint’s latest book, They’re Lying to You, was a number 1# best seller on Amazon. He and his wife, Debbie, have four children who now are grown and married. They’ve taken a shine to being grandparents.
