About this event

Our speaker is Joshua Claybourn, a local attorney, historian, author and editor. Claybourn relates his first-hand experiences in the battle before the Supreme Court over President Trump's tariffs. He argues that unless Congress reclaims its fundamental powers of taxation and commerce, we risk falling into the "Cicero Trap"—trading liberty for the false promise of a strong, unchecked executive.
