As evident from the title, the debate on policy issues relating to the issue of democracy under the Constitution and Supreme Court decisions in the United Stats of America. The books were printed and bound in a strong bondseems that the severity of legal issues. A hammer on the front cover standing double arrow is shown, which involved a metaphor for the doubts and concerns of the Supreme Court decision, which is in a dilemma, should be hammered on the head, it can be.
Brian P. Marron said in his review of the work:
"In democracy does not take into account, Professor Jamin Raskin discusses how the Supreme Court failed to enforce basic political rights by subordinating democratic principles inherentConstitution. The court does not condone the usurpation of the sovereignty of the people through the manipulation of the electoral process. The court does not protect the functioning of democratic principles in our lives every day in cases treated with schools and businesses. In this book, Raskin offers several solutions for the democratic deficit in Anchorage including several proposed constitutional amendment to clear democratic rights. However, applications are presented in a way thatthat the book is the most effective way to support a democratic reform movement could be detrimental. '
This book, of course, not as a guide, but as something informative for those with concerns about democracy, especially in the contemporary United States context, might be useful. As John Sweeney, president of the AFL-CIO is against this book:
"An exciting book to attack the Supreme Court on political rights of citizens. This book is essential reading for anyoneCitizens who are concerned about the fate of our democracy. "
Raskin, focusing on Bush vs. Gore (2000) "The adoption of elitist and reactionary impulses of contemporary conservatism were outvoted democracy does not take account of a convincing plan for 'we the people" to the court, by some constitutional amendments Fundamental in the new century. Raskin aggressive "constitutional patriotism" shows the way for a democratic constitution, the judiciary and the nation. "
In his lectureRaskin calls for amending the Constitution with an amendment to the 'right to vote "amendment because he believes that is not a true democratic vote in a document 3 / 5 share for States men. He also recommended for the general election campaign, in which the presidents of all its 18 years of age must be selected and the elderly, and of course, not vote direct election system, in its proposal, each candidate receives at least 50% of profits regardless of his choice or hisBelonging to a large, little or no political party would be the president of the United States of America. Raskin offers, if no candidate could get half the vote, the candidates will split votes in the final standings for each other and this process should be continued until the criterion can not win.
EJ Dionne Author Why Americans Hate Politics, and you only see "Dead: Why Progressives dominate the new political era has a thinkable about this book. HeHe said
"American democracy thrives because people like Jamin Raskin, an eloquent, thoughtful and provocative small-d democratic, to the best of ourselves in our quest for equality and the rule of 'man. I disagree with some of his ideas Like me, and before I feel rested and even electrified. The problem old liberal judicial activism. The new edition has a conservative judicial activism that would limit the ability of the democratic branches of our governmentto solve public problems. For liberals, says Raskin, "it is time to release all remaining nostalgic enthusiasm for the Supreme Court." He's right. '
In general, this work will be the theme to a minimum, new visions of American democracy, and this point, whether to accept the kind of people "or simply an oligarchy disguised mockery of democracy.
