Title: Not what I thought!
Review: Star's book attempts to provide the reader with an analysis of Supreme Court decisions that have been key in American histrory. Unfortunetly, his attempt simply turns into a one sided view. Generally speaking (in Star's eyes), any liberal decision made by the Supreme Court is an overt action of "Liberal Judges" making law rather than interpreting law.Star's views are best illustrated by his praise for the "young" Rehnquist who believes that Miranda should be overturned. However Star then berates the Chief Justice Rehnquist for subsequently affirming Miranda. All in all, the book falls far short or critically analyzing decisions the court made or the theories onvolved. The book does a good job of lambasting "liberal" judges and sanctifying "conservative" judges. However, I will give Star merit for a well written book. I would skip this book and choose a more balanced book if you are interested in learning about the Supreme Court
