fullDescription

Worried about what a super conservative majority on the Supreme Court means for the future of civil liberties? From gun control to reproductive health, a conservative court will reshape the lives of all Americans for decades to come. The time to develop and defend a progressive vision of the U.S. Constitution that protects the rights of all people is now. University of California Berkeley Dean and respected legal scholar Erwin Chemerinsky expertly exposes how conservatives are using the Constitution to advance their own agenda that favors business over consumers and employees, and government power over individual rights. But exposure is not enough. Progressives have spent too much of the last forty-five years trying to preserve the legacy of the Warren Court's most important rulings and reacting to the Republican-dominated Supreme Courts by criticizing their erosion of rights-but have not yet developed a progressive vision for the Constitution itself. Yet, if we just look to the promise of the Preamble-liberty and justice for all-and take seriously its vision, a progressive reading of the Constitution can lead us forward as we continue our fight ensuring democratic rule, effective government, justice, liberty, and equality.

     Chemerinsky (Closing the Courthouse Door), dean of the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law, articulates an alternative vision for the Supreme Court of the United States in this relatively accessible polemic. To open, he examines the prevailing conservative values and vision of the court, as well as what he considers conservative justices’ false claims of ideological neutrality, delving into “originalism” and its employment as a cover for conservative judicial activism. He also counters arguments that the court should not be able to strike down laws and executive actions, and lays out a case for identifying core values in the U.S. Constitution. In Chemerinsky’s view, the preamble to the Constitution, despite being “largely ignored” or “treated as a mere rhetorical flourish,” holds the key to understanding the values inherent in the document, namely ensuring democratic government, providing effective governance, establishing justice, securing liberty, and achieving equality. The remainder of the book details these five values and cites Supreme Court cases relevant to each. The work has value as a history, and Chemerinsky levies trenchant critiques of the Supreme Court’s recent decision making; however, those who don’t agree with the author that certain liberal values are self-evidently good may not be swayed, and he offers no material way to change the situation.
