A crisis was visited upon the United States in November 2000 – who would be our president? Lawyers parsed the Constitution and presented arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court. A sophisticated nation, and the world, turned to a document drawn up by inspired theorists over 200 years before to find the answers to the election quandary. The U.S. Constitution was the blueprint for the experiment called democracy. The election crisis pales in comparison to the carnage that was delivered upon the nation on September 11, 2001. When the smoke cleared in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pennsylvania, there was an urgency to repair the damage wrought that day, and to move to protect our nation. In each case the legal framework helped guide the hard decisions that needed to be made. |
