Prof. Kitrosser's Book, Reclaiming Accountability, Discussed in Boston Review

Professor Heidi Kitrosser's book, Reclaiming Accountability: Transparency, Executive Power, and the U.S. Constitution, is discussed in the most recent edition of Boston Review. The authors identify Kitrosser's work within a tradition of legal analysis that rejects claims of uncheckable presidential power and secrecy. Because the authors ultimately dismiss the significance of legal and political checks to combat executive secrecy, Kitrosser responds in a comment on the Boston Review website. She observes that "the problem is overwhelmingly large and complex, and that law alone is not the answer. But to the extent that law is a piece of the problem, and a piece of the answer/s, it ought not to be neglected."
