In this clear-sighted book, Bruce Ackerman peers into the future and presents an intuitive, practical alternative. He proposes an "emergency constitution" that enables government to take extraordinary actions to prevent a second strike in the short run while prohibiting permanent measures that destroy our freedom over the longer run.Ackerman's "emergency constitution" exposes the dangers lurking behind the popular notion that we are fighting a "war" on terror. He criticizes court opinions that have adopted the war framework, showing how they uncritically accept extreme presidential claims to sweeping powers. Instead of expanding the authority of the commander in chief, the courts should encourage new forms of checks and balances that allow for decisive, but carefully controlled, presidential action during emergencies. In making his case, Ackerman explores emergency provisions in constitutions of nations ranging from France to South Africa, retaining aspects that work and adapting others. He shows that no country today is well equipped to both fend off terrorists and preserve fundamental liberties, drawing particular attention to recent British reactions to terrorist attacks. Written for thoughtful citizens throughout the world, this book is democracy's constitutional reply to political excess in the sinister era of terrorism.TerrorismUnited StatesWar and emergency legislationUnited StatesTerrorismPreventionLaw and legislationUnited StatesElectronic books.TerrorismWar and emergency legislationTerrorismPreventionLaw and legislation342.73/062Ackerman Bruce A123194MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452195203321Before the next attack2445170UNINA01635nam1 2200397 i 450 UBO215039120231121125857.0880616409097888061640961. rist., 2007IT2004-13007 20080818d2003 ||||0itac50 baitaitz01i xxxe z01n˜La œnascita di Romadèi, lari, eroi e uomini all'alba di una civiltàAndrea CarandiniTorinoEinaudi[2003]2 v.
