Yoo v. United States (case)

Yoo v. United States is a legal case involving John Yoo, a former Bush administration official who authored controversial memos on torture and presidential powers. He faced a lawsuit claiming he should be held liable for violations of the Constitution in his legal advice during the War on Terror. The case raised important questions about government accountability, national security, and the limits of legal protections for officials when conducting state actions. Ultimately, the courts addressed issues of immunity for government officials and the balance between civil liberties and national security concerns.
