Representative John Conyers (D. MI), chair of the House Judiciary Committee, has just issued a monster report, pulling together all of the Judiciary Committee's hearings on abuses in the Bush administration. Titled "Reining in the Imperial Presidency: Lessons and Recommendations Relating to the presidency of George W. Bush," it looks at various actions undertaken by the administration--from signing statements to National Security Letters--that it regards as abusive and urges the Obama administration to take note.
But be warned. It is not for the meek of heart. Coming in at just 500 pages, it has it all. I could complain that it refers to only research that has built on my research, but I won't. I did at least get a shout out as a "signing statement expert" (psst: it's on pg. 187).
