The Constitution Can’t Protect You If You Don’t Protect It (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What’s the point in celebrating the Constitution one day a year if we permit the government to violate it the other 364? September 17 marks the anniversary of the signing of the U.S. Constitution, a document designed not merely to establish a government but to restrain it. Yet restraint is in increasingly short supply. Across the political spectrum, Americans continue to tolerate abuses of power so long as those abuses are carried out by the “right” people, against the “wrong” people, or in the
America After 9/11: 25 Years of Fear, War, Surveillance, and Permanent Emergency (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Twenty-five years after 9/11, one has to ask: has the nightmare ever really ended? For a quarter-century, Americans have been governed by fear: fear of terrorists and foreign enemies, fear of domestic extremists and political opponents, fear of the next attack, the next crisis, the next emergency. That fear has given us endless war, mass surveillance, militarized police, secret courts, indefinite detention, government watchlists, domestic military deployments and an imperial presidency armed wit
Tyranny by Technicality: The Supreme Court Will Not Save Our Republic (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Consider the fight over President Trump’s massive $400 million Whi

Read excerpt
What began publicly as Donald Trump’s lavish, taxpayer-funded vision of a gilded White House ballroom is now being justified by the administration — in and out of court — as a matter of national security. To President Trump, it seems, a ballroom by any other name is a bunker. Court documents indicate the massive subterranean military complex being constructed five stories beneath the White House grounds will include bomb shelters, a hospital, “top secret military structures and equipment, milita
The Posse Comitatus Presidency: Trump’s Standing Army on American Streets (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The National Guard was just the beginning. One year after President Trump deployed military troops to the nation’s capital, we find ourselves navigating a posse comitatus presidency in which the visual trappings of martial law are the norm, not the exception. When Trump declared a supposed “crime emergency” in Washington, D.C., called in the National Guard, unleashed federal law enforcement throughout the city and temporarily seized control of the Metropolitan Police Department, we warned that t
