Summary:
"The Supreme Court's political power rivals that of Congress and the Presidency, and the Justices' ambitions often seem vast. The author argues that the Court has handed down decisions which are essentially religious in character, while speaking the language of constitutional interpretation, and in effect usurping the legislative power of Congress"-- Provided by publisher.
