Imperial Presidency and the Consequences of 9/11 - Lawyers React to the Global War on Terrorism

Klappentext A collection of documents (with introductions) that represent the independent voice of the nation's largest and most influential municipal bar, these materials represent an impressive variety of hard-hitting reports, letters and briefs addressing legal issues arising out of the global war on terror. Zusammenfassung Are the legal powers of the President unlimited in cases of terrorist attacks on the United States? Do the courts and legislatures have a role to play? How relevant is the US Constitution in these instances? This work aims to give readers a clearer sense of what the rule of law really means to Americans.
