This important collection of essays, drawn from the historic Take Back America Conference in Washington D. C. and the pages of The Nation, exposes the radical, reactionary scope of the Bush agenda and the damage that it will do if left unchecked. Included in Taking Back America are outstanding essays by leading figures within the progressive movement. Barbara Ehrenreich explores how working people can be empowered; William Greider analyzes Bush ambitions and their destructive potential; Ralph Neas of People for the American Way explains the war Bush is waging against the American people and their rights; Danny Goldberg describes how youth can be mobilized; Ben Barber and Tom Andrews challenge the destabilizing Bush doctrine of pre-emptive war, and Robert Borosage and Katrina vanden Heuvel lay out a progressive strategy for the future. Anchoring the collection is an electrifying address by Bill Moyers that places the current struggle into historic context, and shows how it is democracy itself that is at stake.

Taken together, the three legal doctrines provide an opportune post facto justification for executive actions initiated essentially without concern for the limits of law. They provide the para-legal rationale for ongoing bureaucratic activity. The President is said to have residual powers in the area of foreign relations. The scope of these powers is not defined, but mav be divined from "the gloss which life has written" on the Constitution.'' Repeated presidential acts may establish a new inherent power in the Chief Executive of constitutional dimension, a claim which Raoul Berger has termed "adaptation by usage.'1 2 Alternatively, ongoing bureaucratic activities are said to be ratified by the Congress if it votes appropriations, even if initially unauthorized. Finally, broad or vague language in congressional authorization statutes may be pieced together to provide a peg of legal authority on which to hang executive programs. All three justifications condone and even encourage executive initiative without concern for legal limits or authority.
