The Tea Party caucus is holding a seminar on the Constitution Monday with Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
Caucus chair Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) said in a statement released last month that Scalia, a conservative, was chosen for the seminar based on his “’originalist’ approach to constitutional interpretation.”
Monday’s event is the first of a planned twice-monthly series entitled the Conservative Constitutional Seminar.
Despite the tea party overtones, Bachmann has said that both parties will be welcomed to attend.
The seminar lands on the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe V. Wade ruling and on the eve of the President’s State of the Union address.
