Courting Disaster: The Supreme Court and the Unmaking of American Law - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

When the U.S. Supreme Court handed down the decision that effectively decided the presidency, the Court's politics were thrust onto center stage. But, as legendary attorney Martin Garbus argues, the Court has been a hotbed of politics for years, and it's time we realized that the justices are no longer the protectors of truth. For more than a generation, the Court has been quietly but aggressively rolling back legislation that has been fundamental to our justice system and economy since the days of Franklin Roosevelt. Laws concerning everything from abortion to the rights of suspects have been all but eviscerated.

In Courting Disaster , Garbus brilliantly and passionately explicates the ways in which seemingly small decisions by the Court can and will precipitate radical changes in American life, unless we fight to restore the Court's objectivity.
