Robert Pallitto and William Weaver provide a well-written discussion of a controversial issue related to American governance... Given the comprehensive scope and depth of analysis throughout the book, the authors are successful in providing a thoughtful and challenging approach to an evolving governmental matter., The well-organized and clearly written book illustrates the way the president's use of document classification and state-secrets privilege to solidify presidential control are reinforced by legal decisions sympathetic to presidential power., ""Robert Pallitto and William Weaver provide a well-written discussion of a controversial issue related to American governance...

Synopsis
State secrets, warrantless investigations and wiretaps, signing statements, executive privilege--the executive branch wields many tools for secrecy.

Most people believe that ......, As seen on The Daily Show, July 24 State secrets, warrantless investigations and wiretaps, signing statements, executive privilege--the executive branch wields many tools for secrecy. Since the middle of the twentieth century, presidents have used myriad tactics to expand and maintain a level of executive branch power unprecedented in this nation's history. Most people believe that some degree of governmental secrecy is necessary. But how much is too much? At what point does withholding information from Congress, the courts, and citizens abuse the public trust? How does the nation reclaim rights that have been controlled by one branch of government? With Presidential Secrecy and the Law , Robert M. Pallitto and William G. Weaver attempt to answer these questions by examining the history of executive branch efforts to consolidate power through information control. They find the nation's democracy damaged and its Constitution corrupted by staunch information suppression, a process accelerated when "black sites," "enemy combatants," and "ghost detainees" were added to the vernacular following the September 11, 2001, terror strikes. Tracing the current constitutional dilemma from the days of the imperial presidency to the unitary executive embraced by the administration of George W. Bush, Pallitto and Weaver reveal an alarming erosion of the balance of power. Presidential Secrecy and the Law will be the standard in presidential powers studies for years to come., State secrets, warrantless investigations and wiretaps, signing statements, executive privilege--the executive branch wields many tools for secrecy.

- v***v (2097)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.How to chalk talk, by Harlan Tarbell (N° 197064259889)
