Показать описание
December 2015 marked 150 years since the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment—an occasion of singular moral, political, and legal importance in American history. This panel reflects on that past with an eye toward the future. While the Amendment plainly outlaws slavery itself, does it go beyond that, or authorize Congress to go beyond that, and if so, how?

Moderator: Prof. Randy Barnett, Georgetown University Law Center
Dean William Carter, University of Pittsburgh School of Law
Prof. Jennifer Mason McAward, Notre Dame Law School
Prof. Alexander Tsesis, Loyola University of Chicago School of Law
Prof. David Upham, University of Dallas

The non existence of slavery? It say no such thing. The 13th amendment abolishes slavery EXCEPT for prisoners duly convicted. How is that a non existence if it says right there that a convict is a slave? And what about convict leasing which expanded immediately after the 13th amendment?

Someone point me to where they discuss the exception clause. Otherwise I can't see myself listening to an all white panel discussing slavery and the 13th amendment.
