Senior Conspirator Eugene Volokh will be speaking at George Mason University School of Law at 4 PM this Wednesday in Room 121, in a talk organized by the GMU Federalist Society. The topic will be slippery slopes, the subject of my personal favorite among Eugene’s many excellent articles. The issue is a very timely one, given that the individual mandate case is scheduled to be argued before the Supreme Court next week. Both sides in the case have advanced various slippery slope arguments, which I assessed in this article.
I will be commenting on Eugene’s presentation, so this will be a rare coming together of the East and West Coast branches of the Conspiracy. Welcome to GMU, Eugene!
