Marjorie Cohn, president of the National Lawyers Guild, teaches at Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego, and blawgs about bi-weekly at marjoriecohn.com.
Her most recent post exposes and criticizes the "National Security & Homeland Security Presidential Directive" that Bush issued on May 9, and which you really ought to have a look at. It is a provision for martial law, in which an all-powerful president would consult Congress and the courts but not be bound by them.
