##### Featuring 

Featuring **Chris Edwards**, Director, Tax Policy Studies, Cato Institute, and Editor, Down​siz​ing​Gov​ern​ment​.org; **Julian Sanchez**, Research Fellow, Cato Institute; **Ilya Shapiro**, Senior Fellow in Constitutional Studies, Cato Institute; Editor-in-Chief, *Cato Supreme Court Review*; and **Mike Tanner**, Senior Fellow, Cato Institute; moderated by **Laura Odato**, Director of Government Affairs, Cato Institute. 

After a year dominated by budget battles, the NSA spying scandal, and the meltdown of Obamacare, the libertarian message is more relevant than ever to federal policy debates. Join us as Cato scholars discuss the current state of the union in relation to fiscal policy, health care, high-profile Supreme Court cases, and the use and abuse of executive power.
