Oregon Lawyer Chapter hosts Charlie Savage

Charlie Savage, a Boston Globe reporter and author of TAKEOVER: The Return of the Imperial Presidency and the Subversion of American Democracy, released this fall, was hosted by the Portland Lawyer Chapter. In his new book, Savage examines the Bush administration's concentration of power in the executive branch and its impact on our laws and treaty obligations. Savage considers the primacy of executive power considerations in judicial nominations and paints a portrait of increasing secrecy within the executive branch. In this fast-paced, character-driven narrative, Savage explores the implications of unchecked executive power and asks whether expanded executive power creates dangerous precedents that all future presidents will cite to their own ends. The event took place at the Multnomah County Central Library in the U.S. Bank Room; 801 S.W. 10th Avenue Portland.
