In his new book, Michael Perry evaluates the grave charge that the modern Supreme Court has engineered a "judicial usurpation of politics". In particular, Perry inquires which of the several Fourteenth Amendment conflicts---the conflicts over race segregation, race-based affirmative action, sex-based discrimination, homosexuality, abortion, and physician-assisted suicide---have been resolved as they should have been resolved. Perry lays the necessary groundwork for his inquiry by addressing both questions of constitutional theory and questions of constitutional history.
