The Tyrannical Rule of The U.S. Supreme Court

Don Brockett's book well documents the historical debate over how the US Constitution should be interpreted. The book points out it was the Supreme Court that declared its superiority over constitutional interpretation. Don addresses judicial excesses he finds when the Supreme Court Justices look beyond the Constitution's plain words and interprets the Constitution as if it is today's document without respect to written intent. Appointment of Supreme Court Justices tend to follow political trends. In a presidential election year who is elected and makes Justice's appointments will by those selections establish American legal, social and political answers for the next 15 years. While I view the Constitution as a living document to be interpreted to respect human, technological and societal effects, the issues Don raises are worth respecting and knowing. -Richard P. Guy, Chief Justice of the Washington State Supreme Court (Ret.) In thinking about the Supreme Court, tyranny is not a word that would occur to most Americans. The appearance of tyranny in the book's title properly sets the stage for what the reader will learn. The reader will be educated that what the Court has done to our Constitution is plainly tyrannical. The Tyrannical Rule of the Supreme Court explains the judicial tyranny of the U.S. Supreme Court in the straightforward fashion needed for Americans to understand not only the work of the court, but why it is often viewed as a political, not necessarily legal lightning rod. The book provides an excellent explanation of what the 14th Amendment was intended to achieve: the recognition of newly freed slaves as full members of American society. With that understanding the reader is enabled to recognize how the 14th Amendment has been misused by the Court to impose the justices' policy preferences on American society. By the book's conclusion, the reader will join Donald Brockett and Chief Justice Roberts in asking about the Supreme Court: ""Who do they think they are?"" -David J. Shestokas, an attorney licensed in IL and FL, author of Constitutional Sound Bites and Creating the Declaration of Independence Don Is Truly A Constitutional Scholar. I read this book early this month and I was humbled by the experience. I consider myself fairly well versed on the Constitution, but Don's well researched approach to the topic of The Supreme Court impressed me greatly. The domino effect of misinterpretations of the Constitution has much to do with the sad state in which we are today. Every American should read this book. Inspirational, Couldn't Put It Down.
