Friday we had our last two Freedom Scholar sessions. We dug into legal decisions dealing with civil liberties in time of war. We looked at several well known Supreme Court decisions as well as cases from the UK, Israel, and the UN’s International Court of Justice. Mrs. Hendrickson asked us to evaluate the legal basis for the decisions. Then we asked the difficult question of whether each case was truly rights-affirming or not. None of us leave with concrete answers on these issues although we have a new perspective on them.
