Law review article on the constitutionality of the military commission

[L Verge]

I've flagged this before; now it's actually in print. I know some of you will disagree with its basic argument; but I hope that it at least spurs conversation, and that you'll all find *something* of interest in it. I'm sorry I'll be out of town for your upcoming conference. Please feel free to distribute copies of this (or a link, anyway) to any attendees who might be interested.

Thanks very much to those of you who helped me understand some of the minutiae and who helped me avoid several historical errors.

Marty - Do you have clear rights to the article since you are giving the Surratt House permission to reprint? I am not sure that I can convince our gov't. printing office of producing such a thick document on such short notice, but just in case. I have been asked this before, most recently when I turned Wild Bill's 2017 conference talk on Lincoln's Reconstruction policy into a booklet. This one I would do as a give-away just at the conference. Not promising anything except including the online link in the folder, however.

Jut reached a compromise with our print shop: I am sending the first four pages with your opening statement and the table of contents for the article and have added a note on the top as to where to find the full 168 pages. We will insert these in the conference folders. Our registration is now approaching 120 with one week to go.
