Professor Weinberger's new book, Restoring the Balance: War Powers in an Age of Terror, is now out, and with some heavy-hitters providing reviews:
"In reminding us that Madison wanted `ambition to counteract ambition' as the basis of our separation of powers, Seth Weinberger has done a signal service by navigating between the twin shoals of faction on the one hand and appeals to a spurious `unity' on the other."
--Christopher Hitchens, author of Thomas Jefferson: Author of America
"Seth Weinberger points the way to a sensible middle ground on the issue of war powers, arguing that while Presidents do have substantial authority to deploy force, Congress has not delegated powers of domestic surveillance and other potential abridgements of rights through its post-September 11 authorizations to use military force. In doing so, he adds clarity to a tortured debate."
--Francis Fukuyama, Professor of International Political Economy Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies
Congratulations, Professor Weinberger!
