Echoes Of 9/11: Rhetorical Analysis Of Presidential Statements In The "War On Terror", Bruce Ching
Echoes Of 9/11: Rhetorical Analysis Of Presidential Statements In The "War On Terror", Bruce Ching
Journal Articles
This article examines persuasive statements by Presidents George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump involving appeals to national identity as a rhetorical foundation for anti-terrorism policy since 9/11. Their specific rhetorical methods have included the use of memorable catchphrases, alliteration, metaphorical framing, and contrast between values of the United States and those of the terrorists. President Bush focused on rallying the nation’s response against the perpetrators of the 9/11 attacks, identifying the U.S. with “freedom itself” and invoking the phrase “War on Terror.” President Obama emphasized the importance of the nation’s values while denouncing the Bush administration’s torture of …
Reframing Radical Religion, Vanita Saleema Snow
Reframing Radical Religion, Vanita Saleema Snow
Journal Articles
Like a thief in the night,1 politicians have stolen religion for their deceptive vices, using the term “radicalization” or “terrorism” to meet their needs.2 See Sahar F. Aziz, Caught in a Preventive Dragnet: Selective Counterterrorism in a Post-9/11 America, 47 GONZ. L. REV. 429, 481 (2012) (discussing how a police report equates “Muslim religiosity with radicalization toward terrorism”); David A. Bosworth, American Crusade: The Religious Roots of the War on Terror, 7 BARRY L. REV. 65, 65 (2006) (noting that American news and popular culture often portray religious people as “narrow-minded bigots out to destroy everything good and decent”); Ned …
Missing In Action: Prisoners Of War At Guantanamo Bay, Jerica M. Morris-Frazier
Missing In Action: Prisoners Of War At Guantanamo Bay, Jerica M. Morris-Frazier
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
The United States of America has presented a national and international image of fairness, justice, and humane treatment of others, while abiding by the laws to which it is bound. However, the reputation of the United States has been tarnished by its seemingly prolonged internment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay. After reports of torture, sexual degradation, and the refusal to apply prisoner of war status to any of the detainees the world is looking to the United States for answers and demanding changes to the current situation at Guantanamo Bay. This paper focuses on the lack of application of prisoner …

How Racial Profiling And Other Unnecessary Post-9/11 Anti-Immigrant Measures Have Exacerbated Long-Standing Discrimination Against Latino Citizens And Immigrants, Katherine Culliton
How Racial Profiling And Other Unnecessary Post-9/11 Anti-Immigrant Measures Have Exacerbated Long-Standing Discrimination Against Latino Citizens And Immigrants, Katherine Culliton
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
Latinos are uniting with other immigrant communities and people of color in being extremely concerned about unnecessary post-9/11 actions that have led to civil liberties and civil rights violations.1 Although the Latino voting power has presumably increased, infringements of Latinos' and Latinas' civil rights appear to be on the rise. This is because many of the measures taken in the name of fighting terrorism have not been effective at finding terrorists, but have resulted in civil liberties and civil rights violations. Lessening of civil liberties and due process protections disproportionately affects Latino communities, who are less likely to have access …
Balancing Security And Access In The Nation's Capital: Managing Federal Security-Related Street Closures And Traffic Restrictions In The District Of Columbia, D.C. Appleseed Center For Law And Justice
Balancing Security And Access In The Nation's Capital: Managing Federal Security-Related Street Closures And Traffic Restrictions In The District Of Columbia, D.C. Appleseed Center For Law And Justice
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
This report was prepared in December 2003 in order to stimulate a dialogue on the role the District of Columbia government should play with the federal government in attempting to achieve an appropriate balance between physical security and open access to public space when deciding on traffic restrictions around or near federal buildings or federal sites in the District of Columbia. A summary of this report was presented at the UDC/DCSL Law Review November 2003 symposium "In the Aftermath of September 11: Defending Civil liberties in the Nation's Capital." Since this report was prepared there has been an ebb and …
Job Security And Bargaining Rights Of Federal Government Employees, Mark D. Roth, Gony Frieder, Anne Wagner
Job Security And Bargaining Rights Of Federal Government Employees, Mark D. Roth, Gony Frieder, Anne Wagner
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
From the beginning of his administration, President George Walker Bush undertook to curtail employment rights, particularly those previously enjoyed by federal government workers. In the wake of the September 11th attacks, however, the Bush Administration was able to launch a full-scale attack on federal employment rights under the guise of national security. While the expansion of government power in the name of national security has come under substantial media and political scrutiny, much of this attention has focused on the threat posed to individual rights. Increased federal power under the USA PATRIOT Act' and other measures2 ostensibly intended to enhance …

The Chimera And The Cop: Local Enforcement Of Federal Immigration Law, Michael M. Hethmon
The Chimera And The Cop: Local Enforcement Of Federal Immigration Law, Michael M. Hethmon
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
The questions of if, when, and how local police can enforce federal immigration laws go to the heart of the legal hunt for the chimera that is contemporary American immigration law.1 In the opening years of this century, the estimated illegal alien population in the United States has reached historic levels. The national response to the attacks of September 11, 2001 transformed what had been largely a municipal conflict between ethnic organizations, the immigration bar, and local governments in high-immigration jurisdictions into a much larger national debate about national security, civil liberties, and federalism.z After the devastating attacks on the …
The Consultation Clause Of The 1973 War Powers Resolution, Laurence D. Pierce
The Consultation Clause Of The 1973 War Powers Resolution, Laurence D. Pierce
Antioch Law Journal
In 1973, Congress enacted the War Powers Resolution.' The purpose of the Resolution was "to fulfill the intent of the framers of the Constitution of the United States and insure that the collective judgment of both the Congress and the President will apply to the introduction of United States Armed Forces into hostilities, or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances .... 2 Part I of this comment examines the legislative evolution of the consultation clause to ascertain the intent of those congressional members who drafted and ratified the War Powers Resolution. Part II …
