Saying What the Law Is

.............................................................................................................................
Description
Taking the Reader up to and through such controversial recent Supreme Court decisions  as the Texas  sodomy case and the University of Michigan affirmative action cases, Charles Fried sets out to make sense of the main topics of constitutional law: the nature of doctrine, federalism, separation of powers, freedom of expression, religion, liberty, and equality. This book fills the need for an account of constitutional  law   free  from  legal jargon  and clear enough  to  inform the educated layperson, yet which does not condescend or slight critical nuance, so that its judgments and analyses will engage students, practitioners, judges, and scholars.
