Surely philosopher Lord Acton was right when he said that power corrupts and that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Courting Disaster
2004
"Martin Garbus, one of the country's most celebrated trial lawyers and First Amendment attorneys, has been watching the Court closely for decades, and in Courting Disaster, he argues that it's time to acknowledge that the Court has been a political hotbed for years. For more than a generation, the Supreme Court has been quietly but aggressively rolling back legislation that has been fundamental to our justice system and economy since the days of Franklin Roosevelt. Although they may remain on the books, laws concerning everything from abortion to the rights of suspects have been all but eviscerated." "Courting Disaster offers a cogent analysis of the recent history of the Court, as well as the entire federal judiciary, and explains the complex workings of the different courts. Garbus examines and evaluates each of the nine current justices, and shows us, case by case, how critically important the vote of a single justice can be."--BOOK JACKET.
