Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. ![]() ![]() I had the good fortune to find myself in Mr. Chemerinsky's Constitutional Law class some 12 years ago as a first-year law student. Even then, he was espousing the view that "judicial activism" is code for "decisions you disagree with," and he couldn't have been more right. This book is an expansion of that idea, pointing out that the very people who rail against judicial activism are often guilty of perpetuating the very same. Although he is an acclaimed legal scholar, Mr. Chemerinsky is also a gifted writer who employs a conversational style that even lay readers will glide through with ease. Excellent review of exactly what the title describes. Occasionally, Mr. Chemerinsky's writing style struck me as a dry, almost bloodless, but that might just be my strong progressive streak looking for a more impassioned argument. Moderates will probably appreciate his restraint more than I did. My highlights and notes on several passages are availabe at: https://kindle.amazon.com/work/conservative-assault-constitution-ebook/B003UQN86... (Hmm, don't see a way I can restricted the highlights and notes to what are mine, currently most quoted passage highlights and all the notes are mine, but I'm sure others will be added.) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"The first step in reclaiming the protections of the Constitution, says Chemerinsky, is to recognize that right-wing justices are imposing their personal prejudices, not making neutral decisions about the scope of the Constitution, as they claim, or following the 'original meaning' of the Constitution."--Book jacket.
