The reviewer states,

"I should emphasize at the outset that this intelligent, thought-provoking book deserves to be read carefully by anyone who believes that the Constitution is a higher form of law than Supreme Court decisions."

I have read this book 3 times and I agree with this assertion.

In addition, I have used Barnett's thesis to slow down and defang a county wide smoking ban, almost to the point to where the RINO sponsor may back off the proposal in its entirety and completely stop a local city ordinance that would require property owners only to rent their first floor space to "retail" renters only.

I am now taking on my local city's claim that they can define private property (restaurants, bars, grocery stores, gas stations, etc)as "public places" for purposes of regulating smoking activity.

Next I am going to take on helmet and seatbelt laws.

Boy am I have fun exerting my rights.

Prof. Barnett exposes former Supreme Court judges as the tyrannt, socialist, elitist, control freak, anti-liberty, mental midgets that they were.

The actual good news is the current crop of Supreme Court judges is beginning to recognize Amendment IX.

Are you fighting them through the local courts or thru appeals on zoning, etc.? What's the secret of winning?

I always get a good laugh when I read something like this. It's so trite. The Supreme Court, the Congress and the Executive were created by the Constitution.
