Harold Koh on Seizing the Moment

No, I haven’t forgotten about Harold Koh.

I’ve already explained how the position for which Koh has been nominated—State Department legal adviser—would provide him a cornucopia of opportunities to advance and implement his dangerous, and fervently held, transnationalist views.  In the essay he contributes to The Constitution in 2020 (a book that presents itself as a “powerful blueprint for implementing a more progressive vision of constitutional law”), Koh restates his commitment to transnationalism and asks (p. 314):

“What will the United States and the world look like if we just let constitutional change happen?  And what will they look like if we seize this moment to push our constitutionalism and our politics in better directions?”

Koh is determined to “seize this moment” to advance his transnationalist agenda.  It’s time for responsible senators to work to stop him.
