Yet the result has been a steady stream of opinions that limit individual rights far more than is commonly understood. In\u003ci\u003e With Liberty and Justice for Some\u003c\/i\u003e, David Kairys presents a fascinating analysis of the changes brought about by the Reagan-Bush courts, changes that will long outlive those administrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKairys examines thirty-one major Supreme Court decisions—covering rights of expression, participation in the political process, religion, equality, privacy and due process—and argues that the liberal decisions of the 1960s and early 1970s were an aberration in a larger, conservative pattern. Kairys, focusing on the stories of the people involved, highlights the ongoing erosion of principles and rules typically thought to embody American notions of freedom. He criticizes both conservative and liberal rules and reasoning, and explores other alternatives.\u003ci\u003eWith Liberty and Justice for Some\u003c\/i\u003e is a revealing and accessible exposé of the role of law, the state of democracy, and the retrenchment of our individual rights over the last two decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"David Kairys","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48283703705851,"sku":"9781565840713","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_c61254a2-938a-49f5-b496-612b69388cb3.jpg?v=1771377875","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/with-liberty-and-justice-for-some-9781565840713","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
