"An excellent overview of one of today's most intellectually slippery and politically relevant constitutional issues ... Recommended. Undergraduate or graduate students of constitutional law." - Choice "This work, part of the America's Freedoms reference series, excels in showing how the Supreme Court has been influenced by the political situation in the United States at the time of the court's decisions ... The material is presented in an engaging manner." - VOYA "Professor Bresler's book is recommended for public, high school, and undergraduate libraries that need an up-to-date overview of the law." - American Reference Books Annual
