Is the American constitution a dead document-an end in itself-as Associate Justice Antonin Scalia maintained, or should it, through a grounding in ethics, be seen as a means of upholding the rights of the people? Through an acute analytic framework and close analysis of five SCOTUS cases, Patrick Hill demonstrates how a sterile formalism has frustrated justice and distorted the law's true purposes. This is a timely book. -- Harry Keyishian, Professor Emeritus of English, Fairleigh Dickinson University, and former Director, Fairleigh Dickinson University Press Professor Hill provides a compelling anodyne for the ideological isms that animate the current decisions of our nation's highest tribunal. All called to the bench and bar will be inspirited by the author's singular passion for justice. -- Hon. Paul W. Armstrong, judge, New Jersey Superior Court, retired; senior policy fellow, Rutgers University
