The Politically Incorrect Guide to the Constitution

In Judging Liberty, author and law professor Kevin Gutzman critiques the current judicial system, arguing that unelected judges often make significant policy decisions that diverge from the intentions of the U.S. Constitution. Gutzman contends that there is a disconnect between the original Constitution ratified by the 13 states and the so-called "constitutional law" enforced today, which threatens the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution itself. He explores the implications of activist judges substituting their opinions for laws enacted by elected representatives, raising questions about the legitimacy of their authority in a representative republic.
