This major history of judicial review, revised to include the Rehnquist court, shows how modern courts have used their power to create new "rights with fateful political consequences." Originally published by Basic Books.
Admirably free of the polemics and vindictive reductivism swirling about current issues of 'intent', 'incorporation', and judicial review...Wolfe asks the large questions: e.g., whether the Constitution itself is an adequate basis for modern government. Agreement may come hard but this thoughtful, balanced book illuminates the great debate.
