Winner of the Scribes Book Award "As brilliantly imaginative as it
is urgently timely." -Richard H. Fallon, Jr., Harvard Law School
"At no time more than the present, a defense of expertise-based
governance and administration is sorely needed, and this book
provides it with gusto." -Frederick Schauer, author of The Proof A
highly original framework for restoring confidence in a government
bureaucracy increasingly derided as "the deep state." Is the modern
administrative state illegitimate? Unconstitutional? Unaccountable?
Dangerous? America has long been divided over these questions, but
the debate has recently taken on more urgency and spilled into the
streets. Cass Sunstein and Adrian Vermeule argue that the
administrative state can be redeemed so long as public officials
are constrained by morality and guided by stable rules. Officials
should make clear rules, ensure transparency, and never abuse
retroactivity, so that current guidelines are not under constant
threat of change. They should make rules that are understandable
and avoid issuing contradictory ones. These principles may seem
simple, but they have a great deal of power. Already, they limit
the activities of administrative agencies every day. In more robust
form, they could address some of the concerns of critics who decry
the "deep state" and yearn for its downfall. "Has something to
offer both critics and supporters...a valuable contribution to the
ongoing debate over the constitutionality of the modern state."
-Review of Politics "The authors freely admit that the
administrative state is not perfect. But, they contend, it is far
better than its critics allow." -Wall Street Journal
