      <description>Members of the American Bar Association Task Force on Presidential Signing Statements and the Separation of Powers Doctrine released a report on the constitutional and legal issues surrounding signing statements and executive interpretation of law.

Of particular concern were statements related to the treatment of prisoners and combatant detainees. They also responded to questions from the reporters.</description>

      <title>Meaning of Fundamental Rights in 21st Century</title>
      <description>This was the first session of the "Consultation on Conscience" biennial conference of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism. Conference business announcements included a description of how the attendees could become more active in lobbying their congressional representatives through new programs provided by the center. This session provided reflections on the bicentennial of the Bill of Rights and the meaning of fundamental rights in the 21st Century. The freedom of choice was described as a crucial element of the Bill of Rights. Judge Mikva commented that, unfortunately, the Bill of Rights is not being celebrated with nearly the same magnitude as the bicentennial of the Constitution. For Jews, he said the Bill of Rights is perhaps more important than the Constitution because it allows individuals to take on the government in the highest court in the land to vindicate the personal rights it guarantees. He said, "It is no accident, I believe, that almost half of the world's population of Jews lives in America."  The official position of the country promised Jews protection from their historical experiences of oppression and suffering.</description>
