Cons

Reading the jacket's description of the author’s legal theory is enough. It is so weighted down with it's liberal, leftist viewpoint that it cannot qualify as anything approaching a history book. Madison is wrong.

    Mostly it ends up being an excellent review of court cases and how the court rulings changed our laws culture and political system


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But it is also how the political parties throughout our history have tried to manipulate the court to meet their own agendas


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The author is a progressive radio host so there are some rants


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There is an abundance of foot notes 147 and references


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    One theme of the book is that political parties pack the court to support long term agendas


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Johnson became president april 15 1865


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    To keep johnson from assigning a new supreme court justice the republican controlled congress passed the judicial circuits act of 1866 reducing the supreme court size from 10 to 6


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This kept johnson from replacing a justice if one died or quit
