The Ultimate Price Author:Jonathan W. Emord In The Ultimate Price constitutional lawyer Jonathan W. Emord presents a stirring tribute to twenty brave Americans who were willing to pay the ultimate price for freedom, from Nathan Hale in the American Revolution to Private First Class Ross McGinnis in the Iraq War. Emord reminds us that to avoid tyranny the Constitution's Founding Fathers ve... more »sted legislative, executive, and judicial powers in separate departments and demanded that no single department ever possess two or more of those powers. Emord explains that in the Twentieth Century the Congress has delegated away all three powers to unelected bureaucrats who enact laws (regulations) without having to account for their actions to Congress, the Courts, or the American people. Emord informs us that today fully three quarters of all laws governing Americans are not enacted by our duly elected representatives but are instead imposed through regulation without a vote of Congress, a signature from the President, or a meaningful check from the Courts. Emord believes the unbridled exercise of law-making, law-enforcing, and law-judging powers by unelected officials the greatest threat to the survival and success of freedom. To return America to its constitutional moorings and to honor those willing to pay the ultimate price for freedom, Emord calls on Americans to demand specific reforms and to restore the original constitutional balance of power. The Ultimate Price is must reading for all who cherish liberty.« less
