Klappentext "John T. Noonan, Jr., brings impeccable scholarly and judicial credentials to his dramatic accusation that five members of the Supreme Court are systematically thwarting justice to Americans through a states rights policy that is essentially political and without basis in the Constitution. Judge Noonan's stature as a leading conservative thinker gives added prestige to this compact, lively and riveting account."—Norman Dorsen, Stokes Professor of Law, New York University; President of the ACLU, l976-l99l "Written by a great scholar, independent thinker, lucid writer, and superb advocate, John T.
