During the week of this year's momentous presidential election, Linda Pollack's "Habeas Lounge" (October 29 – November 6) uses an elegant, over-sized red couch to transform the Graduate Center's James Gallery into a social space for lectures and informal discussions on Habeas Corpus, immigration, and other aspects of Constitutional law. The festivities start on Wednesday with a "Habeas Lounge" kick-off speech: "One Nation, Under the Constitution: Church, State, Politics, Faith and Reason in the 21st Century" presented by Jamie Raskin, Professor of Constitutional Law and the First Amendment, American University, Washington, D.C., College of Law, Democratic State Senator of Maryland, followed by POLITAOKE, "POLITical speeches as karAOKE."
