Two distinguished legal scholars shed light on the 12 most controversial Supreme Court cases, including the Court's rulings that allow government to interfere in private contractual agreements; curtail a person's rights to criticize or support political candidates; and other issues.
Many of the most harmful decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court have been subject to sustained attack in separate places. But I am not aware of any volume whose major function is to critique the worst in one place. Into this void step two fearless writers,Bob Levy and Chip Mellor, who through their work have been deeply involved in shaping our legal and political culture. -- From the Foreword by Richard A. Epstein, Professor of Law, University of Chicago A passionate, thoughtful, provocative, and eminently readable book by two of America's most influential libertarian lawyers and legal thinkers. -- Eugene Volokh, Professor of Law, UCLA; Founder of the Volokh Conspiracy Blog An easy read, and a very informative primer on some long-neglected cases. |fLyle Denniston, Scotus Blog Levy and Mellor offer fascinating insights on twelve of the most important and controversial cases of our time. Readers will gain new appreciation for the Supreme Court's role in affecting their lives and liberties. With that appreciation will come heightened understanding of the stakes in future Supreme Court nominations. -- Nadine Strossen, Former President, American Civil Liberties Union
