The Supremacists: The Tyranny Of Judges And How To Stop It

Rating:
Summary: Our Robed Masters.
Review: Well, this is the best time to review this book as it's now clear that, at least for the next four years, we will have fewer "supremacists", or judicial lawmakers, writing our laws rather than interpreting them. Only through the courts has the left been able to succeed in pushing through its cultural agenda. Schlafly reviews a suprising number of cases in this book to illustrate the way in which judges have been become more powerful forgers of government than the legistlators that we actually elect. Her case is strong and the book is very readable; however, I would recommend waiting until the paperback comes out as the book is far too short to be worth full price. It was a helpful primer though for those of us with only fading memories of Marbury v. Madison and ex parte McCardle.

Summary: This book is more off balanced more than our Judicial System
Review: You can't throw out the baby with the bathwater! If you feel that our Judicial system is flawed because it is not being held accountable - wouldn't that be an argument for more checks and balances not less?
So then what is this really about? I believe that the author is afraid of social evolution (as evidenced by her other books.) Although I don't understand why she is - without it she couldn't be an author, lawer, columnist, AND be the mother of six. Anyways, she would like to replace our judges with know it alls like herself. She does a good job of presenting the facts that back up her agenda, but she misses any evidence of how the system that she proposes would be doomed to fail. After all, history shows us the ugly death of all previous Theocracies. If you are afraid of moving forward, this book is for you. If not save your money for a book with more balance.
