| Summary |
"This book is designed to foster an important national conversation on the subject of federalism and the War on Terror. The authors represented here explore, from varying perspectives, how constitutional limitations apply to federal agents engaged in the War on Terror and to local officials who are resisting what they believe to be federal government overreaching. These essays are intended to spark a debate that, in the long run, may prove to be as significant as any of the other debates about the extent to which the events of 9/11 have challenged, or should challenge, our notions about the meaning of our Constitution."--BOOK JACKET |
