Now that a progressive president is in office, some of those conservatives are starting to have second thoughts. Meanwhile, libertarians are uniformly opposed to any efforts to strengthen executive power. But ... could a stronger executive be a better check on an overbearing Congress? Join us Wednesday, May 12, as we discuss whether a strong executive branch is compatible with limited government principles. Stay tuned for more details. *Inside Washington Weekly<http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=16304673&msgid=197463&act=NWBZ&c=183250&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.americasfuture.org%2Fpodcast%2F>-- The AFF Podcast * Peter Suderman of theAmericanScene.com, Megan McArdle of the Atlantic, and Michael Brendan Dougherty of the American Conservative.
