Author Description

"In Right Wing Justice, Herman Schwartz reveals how successive Republican administrations and right wing think tanks have devised a strategy to "pack" the Supreme Court and lower courts with reactionary judges who are more identified with their ideological affiliation than their regard for the Constitution. The result? The rights of ordinary Americans are being eroded as Supreme Court rulings on abortion, school prayer, affirmative action, worker protection and economic regulation are challenged or overturned. The stolen 2000 election is just the most notorious example of what these partisan, right wing courts can achieve. Combining history with eye-witness testimony, Right Wing Justice is a vital wake-up call to all American citizens."--BOOK JACKET.
