Click here for a free three-month trial subscription to The American Prospect! Features Dreamers Without Borders Benjamin R. Barber What happened to the EU treaty looks a lot like what happened in America last year. Leaders in both places should think about that. High Court, High Stakes Bruce Ackerman On morality, regulation, and privacy, the right seeks a Supreme Court revolution. Senate hearings have one job: to block it. Howard's Beginning Jodi Enda Love him, hate him -- and different Democrats do each -- Howard Dean is taking the ﬁght to the GOP. The question is, can he do more than ﬁght? Letter From London: Britannia Stays Cool Samuel Loewenberg Why London recovered from July 7 far more smoothly than we recovered from September 11. London Bawling Matthew Yglesias Conservative reactions to the bombings offer a case study in wing-nuttery: Protect Bush and emphasize state terrorism (so we can invade someone new!). Rove on the Ropes Joe Conason Sure, let's gloat: The president's guru has been ﬂirting with this kind of scandal for years. It's time the bill came due. The Fraud Caucus Matthew Yglesias and Mark Leon Goldberg To hear the media tell it, moderate Republicans are the greatest thing to hit Washington since air-conditioning. Enough already. With God on Our Side? Jim Wallis and Susan Jacoby The next big debate for Democrats concerns the r-word: Do they need to get -- or at least start talking about -- religion? A progressive evangelist and an aggressive secularist have at it.	Columns Down Is Up (or So Some Say) Robert S. McIntyre Conservatives used to cut taxes to spur growth. Now they just cut taxes to cut taxes. Exit With Honor Robert Kuttner A withdrawal date could be the key to a successful resolution in Iraq. Four Wars Ernest C. Hollings Our strength rests on three qualities -- all of which are beginning to flag. The Wrong Litmus Test Robert B. Reich Yes, abortion is important. But the next Supreme Court justice may have more influence in the War on Terrorism than any other realm. Culture & Books California's Master Builder Harold Meyerson With California in crisis, Pat Brown is back in vogue. Return to Realism Anatol Lieven Two modern wise men revive smart visions of American foreign policy. Vast Write-Wing Conspiracy Christopher Dreher Ed Klein's scurrilous The Truth About Hillary should serve as a warning to New York houses. Unfortunately, it's more of an augury. Departments Devil in the Details The American Prospect Staff Dossier: To Arms, To Arms The American Prospect Staff Dispatches Bubblehead Robert Kuttner Californian Chris Cox, the president's choice to reverse the reforms at the SEC, could be Bush's single most destructive regulatory appointee. Downsizing, Iraq-Style Tara McKelvey This fall, the “coalition of the willing” will become the coalition of the shrinking. And no, it's not because of the bombings in London. Judge-ment Day Jeffrey Dubner Bork earned his “borking” -- but it took 55 Democratic senators to do it. Fighting a Bush Supreme Court nominee today is a different game.
