Industry Reviews
Lowenthal (political science, Boston Coll.) excoriates the status of our constitutional republic in general and the Supreme Court in particular. He sees a republic imperiled, primarily owing to what he considers the unwarranted handiwork of a Court whose members have forgotten or chosen to ignore the original intent of the First Amendment. Though this account offers a jurisprudence of original intent meant to reclaim the republican experiment begun in the late 18th century, Lowenthal's reach ultimately exceeds his grasp. Writing as a constitutional preservationist opposed to constitutional innovation by the judiciary, he lays all that is wrong with contemporary politics and law in the United States at the feet of the Supreme Court. But his selective treatment of Court decision-making prevents the work from having the appeal and impact it otherwise might have realized. Recommended for academic libraries. Stephen K.
