The United States faces the realistic and indefinite threat of terrorist attack with nuclear weapons. Whether the United States is successful in preventing such an attack will depend on whether we effectively wield the instruments of security. It will also depend on whether we effectively manage national security processes and apply the law in a manner that both enhances security and upholds our core values. As a result, lawyers, not just presidents, generals, and spies, will decide the outcome of this conflict. This book, first published in 2007, is essential for anyone wanting an understanding of national security law and process. The book includes chapters on constitutional law, the use of force, and homeland security, presented in the context of today's threats and as applied to issues like rendition and electronic surveillance.

The military clauses were perhaps the most contentious in the drafting of the constitution. The old Continental Congress had had an abysmal record in taking care of the army. Promises made to soldiers during the war remained unfulfilled. At the same time, American distrust of European-style professional armies ran deep.This masterful account of the creation of the Constitution shows our founding fathers at work and brings them to life.

My strategy in writing about the Constitution of the United States was to determine the intent of our Founding Fathers without creating doubt regarding their meaning and intent. I did not want any reader to think that I was bias and/or that my interpretation or opinion was incorrect. I also did not want any reader to even think that my writing about the Constitution was an interpretation and/or an opinion. My objective was to key in on certain key words and reference the definitions of those words to determine the intent of the Founding Fathers. This approach was selected to remove any personal interpretation and/or opinion on my part so that my writing would automatically avoid any personal interpretation and/or opinion. My secondary objective was to allow the reader to better understand what kind of government and democracy the Founder Fathers intended to create and leave no doubt as to their intent. The third objective was to prove how much more important the Preamble of the Constitution is because the Preamble of the Constitution establishes every federal agency and/or department to aEURoepromote the general WelfareaEUR by the function of those agencies and/or departments. The fourth and last of my objectives was to prove that everything written in the Constitution was ordained, i.e., aEURoeordered by virtue of superior authority,aEUR as per the dictionary definition. Therefore, since constitutional law is the supreme Law of the Land and no one is above the law, as per Article VI of the Constitution, any American that disobeys and/or ignores the Constitution commits a crime against the Constitution, which is the supreme Law of the Land, and becomes a domestic enemy.
