A preeminent constitutional scholar offers a hard-hitting
analysis of the Supreme Court over the last two hundred years Most Americans share the perception that the Supreme Court
is objective, but Erwin Chemerinsky, one of the country’s
leading constitutional lawyers, shows that this is nonsense
and always has been. The Court is made up of fallible
individuals who base decisions on their own biases. Today,
the Roberts Court is promoting a conservative agenda under
the guise of following a neutral methodology, but notorious
decisions, such as Bush vs. Gore and United Citizens, are
hardly recent exceptions. This devastating book details,
case by case, how the Court has largely failed throughout
American history at its most important tasks and at the most
important times. Only someone of Chemerinsky’s stature and breadth of
knowledge could take on this controversial topic. Powerfully
arguing for term limits for justices and a reassessment of
the institution as a whole, The Case Against the Supreme
Court is a timely and important book that will be widely
read and cited for decades to come.
