Jack Goldsmith - Power and Constraint: The Accountable Presidency after 9/11

Mar 23 2012 7:00 pm

While many provisions of the Patriot Act, along with detentions and military commissions, suggest that the presidency is more powerful and less subject to accountability than ever before, Goldsmith, a Harvard law professor and former assistant attorney general at the Office of Legal Counsel, looks at the broader spectrum of checks and balances built into American government to argue that, in fact, the opposite is true.
