"A valuable addition to the swelling chorus of 'judicial review' skeptics... a book-length defense of this interesting heresy."
Richard Posner, The New Republic "Tushnet ... makes a bold and compelling argument against judicial review as the primary means of constitutional reform, arguing that this tradition takes lawmaking out of the hands of the people and relinquishes it to the courts."
Booknews "[Tushnet's] ... Read moreideas will challenge and inform academics, lawyers, and college students interested in the foundations of the American political system... This bold analysis for 21st-century constitutional interpretation is highly recommended."
Library Journal "Both at the turn of the last century and at the turn of this one, the American courts have shown that they are willing to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with those who oppose progressive reform. Mark Tushnet's work is a welcome sign that at last the tide is beginning to turn, and that American law professors are no longer willing to be complicit in this obstructionism."
