DVDs and Videos about the Judiciary System Standard Deviants School - American Government, Program 10 - The Judicial System - DVD Standard Deviants School - American Government, Program 10 - The Judicial System - VHS Understanding Government - The Judicial Branch - VHS Seizing Power: The Steel Seizure Case Revisited This one-hour special program from KTEH and Stanford University examines the 1952 decision by President Harry S. Truman to seize the nation's steel mills to maintain steel production in order to support the American war effort in Korea. The dramatic and unprecedented move infuriated steel industry leaders, who sued the President of the United States to get their property back. The arguments made before the Supreme Court just over 50 years ago about presidential power in times of war and national crisis remain compelling today. Join host Kathleen M. Sullivan, dean of Stanford Law School, as well as Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and William Rehnquist, for this riveting hour of Constitutional give-and-take over executive power in wartime.
