Description

Retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer offers a provocative analysis of the textualist philosophy currently dominating the US Supreme Court, arguing for a more pragmatic approach to interpreting the Constitution. Breyer's candor about the state of the court is refreshing and much needed, as he deconstructs the principles of textualism and presents a case for a more workable and adaptable approach.
