Publisher's Synopsis
This lively and insightful book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding why judges made the decisions they did in such current cases as the the Alabama federal courthouse "Ten Commandments" case, Ashcroft v. Oregon (Oregon¿s "right to die" law) and Lawrence v. Texas (constitutionality of sodomy laws). The book also examines recent legal controversies over internet music file-swapping and the targeting of "ordinary people" by record companies, internet pornography, the Pledge of Allegiance, and Victoria's Secret.
