Powers Of War And Peace The Constitution And Foreign Affairs After 9/11

"[Yoo's] book THE POWERS OF WAR AND PEACE: THE CONSTITUTION AND FOREIGN AFFAIRS AFTER 9/11 shows why Yoo was so influential in the Bush administration. It presents exactly the arguments the President would have wanted to hear....What Yoo offers that is new is an attempt to reconcile ...modern-day conservative preferences with an influential conservative theory of constitutional interpretation: the "originalist" approach, which claims that the Constitution must be interpreted according to the specific understandings held by the framers, the ratifiers, and the public when the Constitution and its amendments were drafted."Yoo, John is the author of 'Powers Of War And Peace The Constitution And Foreign Affairs After 9/11', published 2005 under ISBN 9780226960319 and ISBN 0226960315.
