This book is a history of the civil liberties records of American
presidents from Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama. It examines the
full range of civil liberties issues: First Amendment rights of
freedom of speech, press and assembly; due process; equal
protection, including racial justice, women's rights, and lesbian
and gay rights; privacy rights, including reproductive freedom; and
national security issues. The book argues that presidents have not
protected or advanced civil liberties, and that several have
perpetrated some of the worst violations. Some Democratic
presidents (Wilson and Roosevelt), moreover, have violated civil
liberties as badly as some Republican presidents (Nixon and Bush).
This is the first book to examine the full civil liberties records
of each president (thus, placing a president's record on civil
rights with his record on national security issues), and also to
compare the performance on particular issues of all the presidents
covered.
