America’s leading trial lawyer speaks on the supreme court nominations. Renowned First Amendment lawyer Martin Garbus presciently examines the probable impact of the new Supreme Court on the future of the American republic. Drawing on extensive knowledge of Constitutional law and legal precedents, Martin Garbus - one of the USA’s most astute legal historians - expertly defrocks the Bush administration’s grip over the judiciary as an extension of its own executive powers. Looking to the gains of the New Deal and the civil rights era that ushered in a wave of social protection, Garbus warns of the threat of an incoming textualist bench that wishes to roll back more than a century’s worth of hard-won reforms. With the Rehnquist era now gone and the Court in transition, Garbus presents a clear-eyed account of how the coming bench may imperil the American way of life.
