Summary: Yale Law School Professor Bruce Ackerman, former Army vice chief of staff General Jack Keane, and Brigadier General H. R. McMaster, join the Center for a timely conversation with moderator Terry Moran of ABC News about maintaining our constitutional balance in a protracted war. If we are indeed in an age of persistent conflict, can we maintain the Constitution’s prized balance of power, or must the executive, in a permanent state of emergency, have expanded power to act without significant participation by Congress or the courts? This program is presented as part of the 2010 Peter Jennings Conference for Journalists and the Constitution. Program recorded on 2/27/10. Questions or comments?
