Chicago Charlie Savage Event

Charlie Savage



The Chicago Lawyer Chapter of the American Constitution Society, in collaboration with the Chicago Bar Association's Committee on Constitutional Law and Civil Rights, hosted Pultizer Prize winning journalist Charlie Savage on December 3, 2007. Savage, author of the book "TAKEOVER: The Return of the Imperial Presidency and the Subversion of American Democracy," spoke to a large crowd who gathered to hear his cautionary remarks regarding the dangers of the power grab being orchestrated by the Executive branch. Jeffrey E. Martin, a partner at Levin & Perconti, introduced Savage by highlighting his remarkable accomplishments and the glowing reviews that the book has garnered. An intense question-and-answer period followed Savage's prepared remarks.
