Fellow Constitutionalists:
Some of you may remember that I have written a treatise on the Constitution. Here's a summary
The Kiss of Judice is styled an autopsy. That is correct, I think, because it's a pathology: when and how the constitutional cancer started, how it spread slowly at first, then metastasized into a raging affliction, and when death ensued. The epidemiology of the disease traces most directly to when the "reconstituted" supreme court caved in and reversed the decisions that had impeded the New Deal's hostile takeover of the American economy. That was the Constitution's Rubicon. Freed from the chains of Constitution and the check of judicial restraint, subsequent congresses and presidents have gone on a rampage of power usurpation, churning out edicts and "programs" in a quantity and scope that would have made even FDR blush. "It's a good rule of thumb", wrote the late Joseph Sobran, "that anything called a 'program' is unconstitutional." He's right for the reasons laid out in the pages ahead.
As Chief Justice John Marshall put it in Marbury v. Madison (1803), "The powers of the legislature are defined and limited; and that those limits may not be mistaken or forgotten, the Constitution is written." The main purpose of the book is to discover (or rediscover) those "forgotten limits". Then and only then will friends of the Constitution have a chance of reviving it and restoring to its original primacy as the "supreme law of the land"-as the Constitution itself commands.
The work is in three volumes covering some 2100 pages and is now available for download for $9.99 per volume. For sample views and downloads, go to:
