Abstract
This review of Eric Posner & Adrian Vermeule's book Terror in the Balance Security, Liberty and the Courts is constructed in part as a response not only to this scholarly work but also to recent executive and policy directions which suggest that substantial deference should be given to the executive in times of crisis, that courts should defer competence and that any harms inflicted upon civil liberties by executive action are overstated by interests with little competence in the core arena of security.
