Just in time for the President's speech on Thursday, the Hoover Institution has released Chapter 2 of our serialized book: Speaking the Law: The Obama Administration's Addresses on National Security Law. The Introduction and Chapter 1 came out in March. Chapter 2 offers a normative account of where we think the administration's speeches on national security legal questions get things right, where they miss the mark, and where they require further development. We have also added Chapter 2 to the Speaking the Law page, which contains the entire project.
