ISBN: 9780700613878 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The 9/11 attacks were not the first operations by foreign terrorists on American soil. In 1942, during World War II, eight Germans landed on our shores bent on sabotage. Caught before they could carry out their missions, under FDR's presidential proclamation they were hauled before a secret military tribunal and found guilty.

Louis Fisher chronicles the capture, trial, and punishment of the Nazi saboteurs in order to examine the extent to which procedural rights are suspended in time...

ISBN: 9780199382118 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 494 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The scope of presidential authority has been a constant focus of constitutional dispute since the Framing.

Presidential Spending Power
ISBN: 9780691617695 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Each year billions of dollars are diverted by the President and his assistants from the purposes for which Congress intended them. Billions more are used in confidential and covert ways, without the knowledge of Congress and the public. Here is the first account of how this money is actually spent. Louis Fisher writes: "When it comes to the administration of the budget, we find nothing that is obvious, very little that is visible. Our priorities here are peculiar. We fix upon the appropriations process, watching with great fascination as Congress goes about its business of making...

The Supreme Court and Congress explores how the Court operates in relation to legislative action and how it has defined the extent and limits of congressional power.

The Constitution and 9/11: Recurring Threats to America's Freedoms
ISBN: 9780700616015 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 410 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The announced purpose of U.S. antiterrorist policies after 9/11 was to bring democracy and the rule of law to the Middle East. At home, those values were regularly threatened by illegal, unconstitutional, secret, and unaccountable programs. The Bush administration claimed that terrorists hate America for its freedoms, yet its actions jeopardized those freedoms and brought the reputation of the United States lower in the eyes of the world. Government surveillance. Suspension of habeas corpus. Secret tribunals. Most Americans would recognize these controversial topics from today's...

Religious Liberty in America: Political Safeguards
ISBN: 9780700612024 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It is often assumed that the judiciary--especially the Supreme Court--provides the best protection of our religious freedom. Louis Fisher, however, argues that only on occasion does the Court lead the charge for minority rights. More likely it is seen pulling up the rear. By contrast, Congress frequently acts to protect religious groups by exempting them from general laws on taxation, social security, military service, labor, and countless other statutes. Indeed, legislative action on behalf of religious freedom is an American success story, but one that renowned constitutional authority...

Constitutional Dialogues: Interpretation as Political Process
ISBN: 9780691634173 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Who makes constitutional law? Is constitutional doctrine the monopoly of the courts? In accessible and persuasive prose Louis Fisher explains that constitutional law is not solely or even primarily the Supreme Court's "final word" but rather a richly political convergence of separate interpretations. With a broad range of examples, he argues that constitutional principles emerge from a dialogue among all three branches of government--executive, legislative, and judicial. Important contributions also come from the states and the general public. Fisher identifies executive and legislative... Who makes constitutional law?

ISBN: 9780700619979 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Over three decades after its initial publication, Louis Fisher's durable classic remains at the head of its class--a book that Congressional Quarterly called "as close to being indispensable as anything published in this field." This newly revised sixth edition emphatically reinforces that sterling reputation. Fisher dissects the crucial constitutional disputes between the executive and legislative branches of government from the Constitutional Convention through President Clinton's impeachment battles to the recent controversies over President Bush's conduct as commander in chief....

On the Supreme Court: Without Illusion and Idolatry
ISBN: 9781612053103 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "On the Supreme Court" places the Supreme Court in a rich historical and political context, demonstrating how its interpretations of statutes and the Constitution are necessarily shared with the elected branches, the 50 states, and the general public. It explains why the Court exercises judicial review, not judicial supremacy. It demonstrates that, contrary to popular opinion, the Court does not supply the final or exclusive word on the Constitution. In an era of tectonic changes, "On the Supreme Court" offers a fresh perspective on this mainstay institution from a scholar with unique...

Mil. Tribunals & Pres. Power (PB)
ISBN: 9780700613762 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In wartime, presidents are always tempted to expand their authority. But in doing so, they often reach beyond their constitutional mandate. Although the use of military tribunals can be necessary and even effective in times of war, Louis Fisher contends that these courts present a grave danger to open government and the separation of powers. Citing the constitutional provision vesting Congress with the authority to create tribunals, Fisher addresses the threats posed by the dramatic expansion of presidential power in time of war--and the meek efforts of Congress and the judiciary to curb...

Congress: Protecting Individual Rights
ISBN: 9780700622115 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. When asked which branch of government protects citizens' rights, we tend to think of the Supreme Court--stepping in to defend gay rights, for example, in the recent same-sex marriage case. But as constitutional scholar Louis Fisher reveals in his new book, this would be a mistake--and not just because a decision like the gay marriage ruling can be decided by the opinion of a single justice. Rather, we tend to judge the executive and judicial branches idealistically, while taking a more realistic view of the legislative, with its necessarily messier and more transparent workings. In...

In the Name of National Security: Unchecked Presidential Power and the Reynolds Case
ISBN: 9780700614646 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When a B-29 bomber exploded over Georgia in 1948, the victims' families were denied access to crucial information relating to the accident because the federal government claimed such access would endanger national security. When the Supreme Court upheld that claim in United States v. Reynolds (1953), a new precedent was established, allowing the executive branch to assert an all-encompassing "state secret privilege" as a basis for withholding information from public scrutiny. For more than fifty years that decision has been viewed with apprehension by a great many scholars and...
