The nearly daily drip, and occasional gush, of once-secret policy and operational information makes it possible to analyze and understand National Security Agency activities, including the organizations and processes inside and outside the NSA that are supposed to safeguard American’s civil liberties as the agency goes about its intelligence gathering business.

  • Indirect Constraints on the Office of Legal Counsel: Examining a Role for the Senate Judiciary Committee

    Indirect Constraints on the Office of Legal Counsel: Examining a Role for the Senate Judiciary Committee

    Stanford Law Review Volume 73 June 2021 NOTE Indirect Constraints on the Office of Legal Counsel: Examining a Role for the Senate Judiciary Committee William S. Janover* Abstract. As arbiter of the constitutionality of executive actions, the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) possesses vast authority over the operation of the federal government and is one of the primary vessels for the articulation of executive power. It therefore is not surprising that the OLC has found itself at the center of controversy across Democratic and Republican administrations. OLC opinions have justified the obstruction of valid congressional investigations, the targeted killing of an American citizen overseas, repeated military incursions without congressional approval, and, most infamously, torture. These episodes have generated a significant body of proposals to reform, constrain, or altogether eliminate the OLC. All of these proposals can be categorized as either direct or indirect constraints on how the OLC operates. Direct constraints target how the OLC actually creates its legal work product. Indirect constraints instead focus on the OLC’s personnel or the public scrutiny the Office’s opinions will face. This Note expands on this existing body of research, focusing on how one institution unstudied in this context, the United States Senate Judiciary Committee, can operationalize meaningful indirect constraints on the OLC. Unlike the other actors that scholars have examined, the Committee’s position outside the executive branch allows it to sidestep the President’s ever-expanding reach within the federal bureaucracy. At the same time, the Committee’s oversight powers and its central role in the nomination of both the OLC’s leader and Article III judges give it important constitutional and statutory authority to constrain the Office.

Dehn While the current Administration has largely abandoned claims of plenary presidential authority to fight the nation’s wars, courts, scholars, and policy makers continue to debate the nature and scope of the powers conferred by the September 18, 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force. This Article examines primarily Supreme Court precedent to distill the general scope and limits of the President’s powers to fight the nation’s international and non-international armed conflicts. It concludes that the Supreme Court has expressly endorsed and consistently observed (although inconsistently applied) two concepts of necessity attributable to the Commander-in- Chief power. The first is military necessity: the power to employ all military measures not prohibited by applicable law and reasonably calculated to defeat a national enemy.

And as I promised on Facebook, we will almost certainly also talk about the Kavanaugh nomination. It’s not a joke. (Laughs.) So, my name is John Yoo. I’m a visiting scholar here and professor at Berkeley and also a fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford. And Judge Starr originally was going to give a lecture, but he actually would like to actually sit and have a conversation with the panelists, so we’re going to dispense with any kind of formal remarks. He’s going to make a — I think a short statement summarizing his book and some of the points, and then we’re going to turn right to an open discussion with the other panelists. So let me just quickly introduce them. You have their full biographies. But, as you all know, Judge Starr has been many, many things: a judge on the DC circuit, solicitor general, law school dean — it’s all been downhill after being law school dean — university president, and an independent counsel in the Clinton Whitewater investigation.

    Inventory of the Scooter Libby Letters

    INVENTORY OF THE SCOOTER LIBBY LETTERS I’ve read them, all of them. (Big PDF Part One; Big PDF Part Two; Excel file of all the letters) What a depressing way to spend a weekend day. You see, I believe all those people when they describe how loving Libby is with his kids. And I believe all those people who describe what a great mentor Libby has been to young professionals. But there’s no denying that Libby threw all that away, presumably out of a warped sense of duty. I’m reminded of the two pieces Libby’s childhood friend Nick Bromell has written about him, particularly when he describes, I want to insist that Scooter’s respect for power is not just a front for cold self-interest. At bottom, there’s a kind of innocence about Scooter. He has submitted to masters like Paul Wolfowitz and Cheney because he respects them, just as a Zen novitiate submits to a meditation master or a young violinist reveres the prodigious talent of her teacher. Because in the end, these letters make complete sense. They paint a rich portrait of Libby’s commitment to duty and loyalty. And that, of course, is what got him into trouble. I’ll have one or three posts on individual letters today or tomorrow. But for now, I thought I’d provide my rough inventory of who wrote letters. Total letters: 196 Letters favoring a harsh sentence: 25 Letters favoring a lenient sentence: 171 Letters from obvious Neocons: 34 Letters from OVP affiliates*: 49 Letters from former Dechert colleagues: 15 I didn’t count the number of those whose kids were friends with Libby’s kids, those who play football with Libby, or plain old neighbors.
