Abstract

The article looks at the role of the U.S. Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) in the 2013 exposure of the U.S. government's clandestine electronic surveillance of corporations and citizens. Topics include how many of the OLC's opinions violate constitutional principles, the OLC's views toward the president's war powers and the treatment of those who reveal state secrets, and the need for the public to hold the government accountable for its unwarranted surveillance activities.
