ISBN: 9781442216761 - wrong and dangerous: ten right wing myths about our constitution (6 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. The primary purpose of the United States Constitution is to limit Congress. There is no separation of church and state. The Second Amendment allows citizens to threaten the government. These are just a few of the myths about our constitution peddled by the Far Right--a toxic coalition of Fox News talking heads, radio hosts, angry patriot groups, and power-hungry Tea Party politicians. Well-funded, loud, and unscrupulous, they are trying to do to America's founding document what they have done to global warming and evolution--wipe out the facts and substitute partisan myth. In the process, they seek to cripple the right of We the People to govern ourselves. In Wrong and Dangerous, legal scholar Garrett Epps provides the tools needed to fight back against the flood of constitutional nonsense. In terms every citizen can understand, he tackles ten of the most prevalent myths, providing a clear grasp of the Constitution and the government it established.…

Garrett Epps (born 1950 in Richmond, Virginia) is an American legal scholar, novelist, and journalist. He was professor of law at the University of Baltimore until his retirement in June 2020; previously he was the Orlando J. and Marian H. Hollis Professor of Law at the University of Oregon. Epps attended Harvard College, where he was president of The Harvard Crimson. He later received an M.A. degree in Creative Writing from Hollins University, and a J.D. degree from Duke University, where he was first in his class. After graduation from Harvard, he was a cofounder of The Richmond Mercury, a short-lived alternative weekly. He also worked as an editor or reporter for The Washington Post. Immediately before moving to the University of Oregon, he spent a year clerking for Judge John D. Butzner of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Epps has written the nonfiction books To An Unknown God: Religious Freedom on Trial, which was a finalist for the American Bar Association's Silver Gavel Award, and Democracy Reborn: The Fourteenth Amendment and the Fight for Civil Rights in Post-Civil War America, which won the 2007 Oregon Book Award for non-fiction, and was a finalist for the ABA Silver Gavel Award. He has also written numerous articles and editorials in newspapers including the New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Atlantic.
