Terrorism and the Constitution: Sacrificing Civil Liberties in the Name of National Security Paperback - 2006

by David Cole; James X. Dempsey; Foreword by Nancy Talanian


From the publisher

Tracing the history of government intrusions on Constitutional rights in response to threats from abroad, Cole and Dempsey warn that a society in which civil liberties are sacrificed in the name of national security is in fact less secure than one in which they are upheld.

A new chapter includes a discussion of domestic spying, preventive detention, the many court challenges to post-9/11 abuses, implementation of the PATRIOT ACT, and efforts to reestablish the checks and balances left behind in the rush to strengthen governmental powers.
