Laurence H.
Silberman has devoted his
life to promoting,
enforcing, and defending the
rule of law. As a judge, he
has been a clear-eyed
guardian of the
Constitution, and he has
applied the law with wisdom
and integrity. From the Cold
War to the war on terror,
his work to strengthen the
institutions that protect
our nation has made
Americans safer and their
liberties more secure. The
United States honors
Laurence Silberman for his
resolute service to the
nation and his stalwart
efforts to advance the cause
of ordered liberty. |
