As Tribe illustrates, some of our most cherished and widely held beliefs about constitutional rights are not part of the written document, but can only be deduced by piecing together hints and clues from it.What is to stop someone from piecing together hints and clues to justify the use of torture in police interrogations?
“How many wars have American lawyers won?”The American Civil War.
Bush needs to send them to Israel before he leaves.Great idea. Israel knows how to properly deal with terrorists.
