“Why Constitutional Conservatives Need Natural Rights and Libertarians Need Natural Law"
Professor Randy Barnett, the Patrick Hotung Professor of Constitutional Law at the Georgetown University Law Center and the Faculty Director of the Georgetown Center for the Constitution, will identify the “Positivist Pathology” that is deeply ensconced in conservative constitutionalism and explain why conservatives need to take natural rights more seriously than they have. He will then contend that libertarians need a moral theory of the good to buttress their political theory of liberty, and how natural law serves that purpose.
