Book Description

Who has the final say on the meaning of the Constitution? From high school to law school, students learn that the framers designed the Supreme Court to be the ultimate arbiter of constitutional issues, a function Chief Justice John Marshall recognized in deciding Marbury v. Madison in 1803. This provocative work challenges American dogma about the Supreme Court's role, showing instead that the founding generation understood judicial power not as a counterweight against popular government, but as a consequence, and indeed a support, of popular sovereignty. Contending that court power must be restrained so that policy decisions are left to the people's elected representatives, this study offers several remedies--including term limits and popular selection of the Supreme Court--to return the American people to their proper place in the constitutional order.

Book Description

We live in the greatest nation on Planet Earth, but it is becoming more and more apparent that in order to keep it great, people must do something to stop the federal courts that are daily setting themselves above the law and dictating how we should live and what we should think. This book is designed to bring you up to speed on the ongoing struggle against an over-reaching judicial branch, without overwhelming you with legal double-speak. It is written in plain American, and presented in bite-sized pieces. After studying the principles in this book, you will better understand the role of government and how to react when the next judge throws out the will of the people in favor of the latest social engineering project. To bring our nation back from the elites in black robes that wish to redefine everything we are as Americans, it is going to take work. Edmund Burke, the famous British politician who supported our War of Independence while serving in the British Parliament, stated a simple truth that still applies to us today: "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." We have done nothing for too long, and we are paying the price today. But it is not too late. The fight has only just begun. But by picking up this book you are taking the first step, and together we can turn our nation around. This book features chapters from some of our nation's most prominent leaders in the battle for continued liberty and freedom in our nation, such as: A CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS-US Attorney General Ed Meese THOU SHALT HAVE NO GOD BEFORE US-Benjamin D. DuPr , Esq. THE POWER OF OUR TRUE HISTORY-Dave Meyer A CHRISTIAN AMERICA?-David C. Gibbs III, Esq.

Book Description

Supreme Court justices have long relied on law clerks to help process the work of the Court. Yet few outside the Court are privy to the behind-the-scenes bonds that form between justices and their clerks. In Of Courtiers and Kings, Todd C. Peppers and Clare Cushman offer an intimate new look at the personal and professional relationships of law clerks with their justices. Going beyond the book’s widely acclaimed predecessor, I n Chambers, the vignettes collected here range from reflections on how serving as clerks at the Supreme Court impacted the careers of such justices as Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, William Rehnquist, John G. Roberts Jr., and John Paul Stevens to personal recollections written by parents and children who have both served as Supreme Court clerks. While individual essays often focus on a single justice and his or her corps of clerks—including how that justice selected and utilized the clerks—taken as a whole the volume provides a macro-level view of the evolution of the role of the Supreme Court law clerk. Drawing on a rich repository of such anecdotes, insights, and experience, the volume relates in a clear and accessible style how the clerking function has changed over time and what it is like for law clerks to be witnesses to history. Offering a rare glimpse into a normally unseen world, Of Courtiers and Kings reveals the Court’s increasing reliance on law clerks and raises important questions about the selection, utilization, and influence of law clerks. Praise for In Chambers: "An excellent book.... It's interesting for many different reasons, not the least of which as a reminder of how much of a bastion of elitism the Court has always been."—Atlantic Monthly "The best parts of the book are the behind-the-scenes descriptions of life at the court.... [A]n impressive and comprehensive book."—Associated Press

Book Description

How did representative institutions become the central organs of governance in Western Europe? What enabled this distinctive form of political organization and collective action that has proved so durable and influential? The answer has typically been sought either in the realm of ideas, in the Western tradition of individual rights, or in material change, especially the complex interaction of war, taxes, and economic growth. Common to these strands is the belief that representation resulted from weak ruling powers needing to concede rights to powerful social groups. Boucoyannis argues instead that representative institutions were a product of state strength, specifically the capacity to deliver justice across social groups. Enduring and inclusive representative parliaments formed when rulers could exercise power over the most powerful actors in the land and compel them to serve and, especially, to tax them. The language of rights deemed distinctive to the West emerged in response to more effectively imposed collective obligations, especially on those with most power.

Book Description

In drafting the Constitution, the authors who had lived in England under the tyranny of monarchs divided the new United States government into legislative, executive and judicial branches to dilute government abuse of power. The legislative branch obviously enjoyed priority by its ability to enact laws for the executive to administer. The judicial branch merely resolved "cases and controversies." This book summarizes these cases and explains the increasing emergence of the federal judicial branch exemplified predominately by the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeal and its infliction of damage to cultural, religious and social traditions of the country. Federal courts began intervening in state court decisions involving highly contentious issues shortly after the end of WW II. Although the Supreme Court led the way, the Ninth Circuit has written decisions on subjects never judicially envisioned by the Constitution, has overturned innumerable state court decisions, and invalidated state and federal legislation. The court has intruded on immigration law, criminal law, the death penalty, and written innumerable cases restricting religion, enforcing racial preferences, managing jails and prisons, endorsing same sex marriage, confirming abortion, and eviscerating a variety of other cultural and social traditions affecting the public.

Book Description

Esta monografía ofrece una visión de los círculos cortesanos europeos desde la perspectiva de los cambios estructurales y culturales que tuvieron lugar tanto en las cortes de los monarcas reinantes como en los círculos privados desde la Edad Media hasta finales del siglo XVIII. Independientemente del patrón o patrona, la corte fue sin duda una interesante estructura administrativa, económica y cultural, que ejerció una fuerte influencia en la organización de la sociedad europea en la era preindustrial. La estructura de los tribunales gobernantes europeos fluctuó constantemente: cambiaron su organización, sus miembros y el papel que desempeñaban.La corte no sólo era un elemento importante de la administración del Estado y el administrador de oficinas, bienes y medios, sino también el creador de nuevos valores culturales y el entorno donde se educaba a la juventud, donde era posible el ascenso social y donde florecían las carreras clericales y políticas. En gran medida, su tamaño, miembros y etiqueta dependían de las capacidades financieras, así como de las estructuras políticas de los países en los que operaban. Con el tiempo y el desarrollo de nuevas estructuras en las cortes reales o aristocráticas, que eran transmisoras de los valores de las élites, así como de la nueva estética y la moda, la corte se convertiría no sólo en un elemento de autoridad, sino también de prestigio, así como en la expresión de la riqueza perteneciente a un grupo social específico caracterizado por un sistema coherente de signos, gestos y códigos culturales, que constituían una comunidad de modelos educativos y ceremonias.
