false 2226058 1 A non-lawyer’s guide to the worst Supreme Court decisions of the modern era<BR><BR> <I>The Dirty Dozen</I> takes on twelve Supreme Court cases that changed American history—and yet are not well known to most Americans. <BR><BR> Starting in the New Deal era, the Court has allowed breathtaking expansions of government power that significantly reduced individual rights and abandoned limited federal government as envisioned by the founders. <BR><BR> For example: • <I>Helvering v. Davis</I> (1937) allowed the government to take money from some and give it to others, without any meaningful constraints<BR> • <I>Wickard v. Filburn</I> (1942) let Congress use the interstate commerce clause to regulate even the most trivial activities—neither interstate nor commerce<BR> • <I>Kelo v. City of New London</I> (2005) declared that the government can seize private property and transfer it to another private owner<BR><BR> Levy and Mellor untangle complex Court opinions to explain how <I>The Dirty Dozen</I> harmed ordinary Americans. They argue for a Supreme Court that will enforce what the Constitution actually says about civil liberties, property rights, racial preferences, gun ownership, and many other controversial issues. 2231854 1 5 2008 The Dirty Dozen: How Twelve Supreme Court Cases Radically Expanded Government and Eroded Freedom total:21|5:10|4:6|3:4|2:1|1:0| 21 88 70 6 5 0 false false Sun Feb 08 10:08:44 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 10:16:20 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Wed Feb 18 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 28 21:49:40 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 05:31:17 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Sun Feb 22 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 03 07:52:43 -0800 2008 Sun Feb 22 20:07:57 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jul 31 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 28 07:32:48 -0700 2008 Thu Jul 31 20:05:00 -0700 2008
This book examines 12 Supreme Court cases and how each of the cases did not side with 'the people'.
Basically the Court didn't follow the Constitution.
Much of our bloated system is to be thanked to some of these cases.]]> 5 0 false false Sun Aug 03 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jun 21 22:19:26 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 03 18:11:31 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu Aug 21 06:14:06 -0700 2008 Sat Aug 09 19:15:19 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 21 06:14:06 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Nov 10 14:57:52 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 10 14:57:52 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Fri Oct 16 06:51:33 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 16 06:51:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 13 13:06:27 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 13:06:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 11 20:12:26 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 11 20:12:26 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Sep 22 12:46:34 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 22 12:46:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Sep 19 12:16:34 -0700 2009 Sat Sep 19 12:16:34 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 18 14:36:04 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 18 14:36:04 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Aug 30 20:51:34 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 30 20:51:41 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Sep 04 17:17:38 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 12:34:28 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 04 17:17:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jul 17 23:11:33 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 17 23:11:33 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jul 14 19:30:28 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 14 19:30:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jul 05 10:07:22 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 10:13:06 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jun 23 15:34:15 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 15:34:22 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 29 17:19:34 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 17:19:34 -0700 2009
