In an article at Lawfare, CERL Executive Board Member Stuart Gerson, along with more than 10 other former officials from both Democratic and Republican administrations as well as the judiciary, argue the courts must exercise their power of judicial review on executive actions that are justified on national security grounds. The authors write that the use of judicial review in the national security space is more essential now than ever, given that foreign and domestic security distinctions have become deeply intertwined.   

Stuart Gerson is Of Counsel at Epstein Becker Green, former Acting Attorney General of the United States, and Founding Member of Checks & Balances. He is also a member of the CERL Executive Board. Read his bio here.
