Episode description
There are lots of bad guys out there. And lots of people who could be bad guys. And other guys . . . well, we're not so sure about them.
But can the President simply make a list, sit down in his big chair in the Oval Office, and decide which of these alleged bad guys to kill?
We speak with David Adler, the Director of the Andrus Center for Public Policy at Boise State University, an expert on presidential power. David takes us on a fascinating journey, concentrating on the way executive power has dramatically increased during and after the Cold War, and especially after 9/11.
You'll want to listen to this one. In the meantime, don't make the President mad.
