In this book, Thom Hartmann, the most popular progressive radio host in America, explains how the Supreme Court has spilled beyond its Constitutional powers—and how we the people should take that power back. Taking his typically in-depth, historically informed view, Thom Hartmann asks, What if the Supreme Court didn’t have the power to strike down laws? According to the Constitution, it doesn’t. From the founding of the republic until 1803, the Supreme Court was the final court of appeals, as it was always meant to be. So where did the concept of judicial review start? As so much of modern American history, it began with the battle between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists, and with Marbury v. Madison. Hartmann argues it is not the role of the Supreme Court to decide what the law is but rather the duty of the people themselves. He lays out the history of the Supreme Court of the United States, from Alexander Hamilton’s defense to modern-day debates, with key examples of cases where the Supreme Court overstepped its constitutional powers. The ultimate remedy to the Supreme Court’s abuse of power is with the people--the ultimate arbiter of the law—using the ballot box. America does not belong to the kings and queens; it belongs to the people. “A meticulously documented strategy for trimming the power of nine ideologically motivated political activists unaccountable to the will of the people. . . . important and timely.”—David Korten, author of When Corporations Rule the World Review: Everything you wanted to know about SCOTUS but were afraid to ask - This an abfab history of SCOTUS. It explains its beginnings, its corruptions, and its modern-day influences on our middle-class daily life. This is no whitewash look at SCOTUS but rather a look under the robes these political appointies wear as they destroy the very unpinnings of our democracy. I now look at these appointies as viscious lap dogs of the Uber wealthy in our nation. This is not dry reading. It is a page turner and will make you keep your highlighter next to you while you read. READ THIS BOOK! PLEASE. Review: A must-read. - I had no idea of this history, which is fascinating and appalling. It doesn't take much to de-rail democracy, and we all need to know how and why and when - and who. It's also well written and easy to follow. I'm grateful for it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #262,213 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #15 in General Constitutional Law #19 in United States Judicial Branch #870 in History & Theory of Politics | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 518 Reviews | ## Images ![The Hidden History of the Supreme Court and the Betrayal of America (The Thom Hartmann Hidden History Series) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91HX1By9zUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything you wanted to know about SCOTUS but were afraid to ask *by K***R on February 5, 2024* This an abfab history of SCOTUS.
