Today, we attended the first session of several, beginning many more fun inaugural meetings. We were honored to hear Steve Bell, Dana Bash, and Michael Genovese. I really enjoyed listening to all three speakers, as they offered both a historical and a comical insight. Unlike many of my colleagues, I was impressed with the quality of many of the questions that Bash took. I think they were very important; although some were redundant, Bash was able to take each one in a different direction with captivating answers.
I was very happy to hear Genovese speak about presidential trivia. He explained that he will take us more indepth about the relationship of presidential power and the consitution and how that has become more complex recently. I am very excited about that, as I personally have been deeply concerned about that very issue. From what I understood, he may be the next Bruce Fein or Jack Nichols. Even if Genovese does not share the same opinion, I am glad that topic is part of the conversation, finally. It looks to be a great week.
