TRIUMPH OF POLITICS

BOOK : THE TEMPTING OF AMERICA
The Political Seduction of the Law
By Robert H. Bork

Written in 1990, Judge Bork sets out the thesis that, "...the American institutions of law, literature, economics, science, and journalism have steadily succumb to the belief that nothing matters beyond politically desirable results, however achieved." That even, "...the life of the intellect, perhaps especially the life of the intellect, (has) become politicized...(nothing) counts, not logic, not objectivity, not even intellectual honesty, (if) it stands in the way of the 'correct' political outcome."

He then proceeds to demonstrate how our legal system, particularly judges and the courts, most especially the Supreme Court, have become not "politically neutral" but politically active, effectively usurping the legislative authority given only to Congress.

Here in one book, for us laymen, is Constitutional Law 101.
