Tushnet's own book, "A Court Divided: The Rehnquist Court and the Future of Constitutional Law," was aimed at "the educated general public," ....Tushnet said he has not read "Men in Black" and does not know anyone who has.

ROFL!! "I simply don't understand McGovern's defeat -- I don't know anyone who voted for Nixon!" -- Pauline Kael, 1972.

Without a doubt- one of the great liberal quotes:)

Tushnet's own book argues that the court is a relatively moderate institution and chides writers who "cheer or boo" the court's rulings depending on their own ideology.

Tushnet urges us not to pay any attention to judicial "legislation" I take it.

"ROFL!! "I simply don't understand McGovern's defeat -- I don't know anyone who voted for Nixon!" -- Pauline Kael, 1972."

You have said it all.

The absolute worst thing these people could imagine would be to have to reside outside of the country's blue zone. ;)

I havent bought this one yet but will soon. The left, stopped or slowed at the ballot box, realized that they could set the agenda for their socialistic, atheistic, multi-cultural by controlling the SC. Mark L. has probably nailed it with this book.

"With endorsements for the book from Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and other conservative media icons, Levin has also reached millions through appearances on radio and television, providing his audience with intellectual ammunition for the impending struggle over the court's future."

"Yet this publishing phenomenon has gone almost completely unnoticed outside conservative circles."

"The fascinating thing is that it's a bestseller on a subject where 100 percent of us who present ourselves as experts haven't read it," said David Garrow, a law professor at Emory University who has written widely on Supreme Court history."

The MSM is doing the same thing they did with the Swiftvets, trying to make something they don't like go away by not reporting on it. Their problems is that, just like with the Swiftvets, Levin's book is a seminal work that will have a huge impact. If the MSM was really dedicated to reporting the news and finding out what was going on, they'd be reading and reporting on this book all the time. However, they're so committed to preserving the courts' tyranny that they can't even bring themselves to report one of the most important stories that's out there. Instead, they spend their time interviewing Jane
Fonda about her new book, which will have no real historical impact or political significance.

I have said before this will be the most influential political book of the decade.

I see no reason to revise my views. :-)

Mark Tushnet, a liberal law professor at Georgetown University who clerked for the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall, said he has watched the rise of Levin's book with some bemusement.

Tushnet's own book, "A Court Divided: The Rehnquist Court and the Future of Constitutional Law," was aimed at "the educated general public," he said. ... "A Court Divided" came out a week before "Men in Black"; it has been reviewed, mostly favorably, in the Los Angeles Times, The Post and the New Republic. ..."This book is being sold just as would be expected for a serious, critically acclaimed, nonfiction book -- that is, under 10,000 copies," said Alane Mason, Tushnet's editor at the New York-based publisher Norton.

English Translation: "educated general public" = fellow left wing academics.
