Government overreach may be no surprise to anyone interested in liberty, but just how did Uncle Sam get his fingers into so many unwelcome places? In a free country, wouldn’t interfering in private contracts, seizing private property and imprisoning people indefinitely without charge be illegal?

Legal scholar Robert Levy discusses the twelve landmark cases in which the Supreme Court sanctioned these and other abuses on April 6, at the inaugural “Evening with FEE.” The evening begins at 6:45 p.m. at the Westin Peachtree Plaza in Atlanta, with a reception in the International C room.
