Jeffrey Rosen writes for The New York Times Magazine: "In the fall of 2003, Jack L. Goldsmith was widely considered one of the brightest stars in the conservative legal firmament.... No one was surprised when he was hired in October 2003 to head the Office of Legal Counsel, the division of the Justice Department that advises the president on the limits of executive power.... Nine months later, in June 2004, Goldsmith resigned. Although he refused to discuss his resignation at the time, he had led a small group of administration lawyers in a behind-the-scenes revolt against what he considered the constitutional excesses of the legal policies embraced by his White House superiors in the war on terror."
