Description

Renowned First Amendment lawyer Martin Garbus presciently examines the impact of the new Supreme Court on the future of the United States. Drawing upon extensive knowledge of the American Constitutional law and legal precedents, Garbus, one of America's most astute legal historians, defrocks the Bush administration's grip on the judiciary as an extension of its own executive powers. Named by TIME magazine as legendary...one of the best trial lawyers in the country', Garbus has appeared before the US Supreme Court and the highest courts throughout America.'

Reviews

An ardent defender of our freedom, Martin Garbus reminds us that the Supreme Court directly affects the lives of all Americans. In the last half century, the Court has played a central role in the effort to make America a better and fairer land. . . . Garbus alerts us to what he sees as the current Court's undoing of much of that important work. Senator Edward M. Kennedy


Mr. Garbus . . . argues that the ideological lock put on our federal court system in the past thirty years by the Republican right wing constitutes and clear and present danger to the basic legal and moral assumptions of a modern democratic republic. He lays out the evidence . . . and his case is sound. This work ought to be read by every voter in this country. E. L. Doctorow


If you haven't readThe Next 25 Years, you may awaken one morning and ask, 'What Happened to America' This is a clarion cry for every American to act before our constitutional way of life is all but a distant memory. Nadine Strossen, president of the American Civil Liberties Union
