In this devastating book, Erwin Chemerinsky-'one of the shining lights of legal academia' (The New York Times)-shows how, case by case, for over two centuries, the hallowed Court has been far more likely to uphold government abuses of power than to stop them.
Erwin Chemerinsky is the founding dean, Distinguished Professor of Law, and Raymond Pryke Professor of First Amendment Law at the University of California, Irvine, School of Law. He has written for the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Boston Globe, among many other publications. He lives in Irvine, California.
Praise for Erwin Chemerinsky
“A catalyst for fundamentally changing the nation’s most important
and . . . least democratic institution . . . A scholar with
intellectual power, passion and pluck.”―Los Angeles Review of
Books
"One of the shining lights of legal academia."―The New York
Times
Praise for THE CONSERVATIVE ASSAULT ON THE CONSTITUTION
"Our Constitution depends on the courts to keep it alive; we all
depend on Erwin Chemerinsky to remind us why that is so
important. This book is essential reading for anyone who cares
about preserving our constitutional birthright."--Susan N. Herman,
Preseident, Amerian Civil Liberties Union
"Erwin Chemerinsky knows the Constitution as a legal scholar and
the Supreme Court as a lawyer who represents clients there. It's a
rare and poweful combination that makes him uniquely qualified to
write this disturbing and persuasive book about the impact of the
current Supreme Court's approach to constitutional
interpretation."--Linda Greenhouse, lecturer, Yale Law School;
former New York Times Supreme Court correspondent
