As Chairman
of the Constitution Subcommittee of the Senate Judiciary Committee,
I held a hearing on Tuesday, September 16, on "Restoring
the Rule of Law." During the hearing, we heard testimony
from legal and historical experts on what steps the next president
and the next Congress must take to repair the damage done
by the Bush Administration to the rule of law.
In addition to the testimony of the witnesses at the hearing,
I solicited responses from a host of other law professors,
historians, advocates and other experts to offer a blueprint
to the next president and Congress for what must be done,
starting in January 2009, to reverse the previous administration's
abuses.
