Barber, Texas Law Review"Sunstein has a knack for identifying the operative kernel of complex ideas in a way that allows the reader to see how an unfamiliar concept links seemingly disparate problems."--Azuz Huq, New York Law Journal"We would do well to have more thinkers around like Sunstein, and better yet to have more of them on the Supreme Court."--Leonard H.

Supreme Court hangs in the balance like never before. He makes sense of the intense debates surrounding these approaches, revealing their strengths and weaknesses, and sketches the contexts in which each provides a legitimate basis for interpreting the Constitution today. He focuses on three approaches to the Constitution--traditionalism, which grounds the document's meaning in long-standing social practices, not necessarily in the views of the founding generation; populism, which insists that judges should respect contemporary public opinion; and cosmopolitanism, which looks at how foreign courts address constitutional questions, and which suggests that the meaning of the Constitution turns on what other nations do.

There's the role of traditionalists and Condorcet's Jury Theorem theorizing that a larger voting population is more likely to get it right. What's missing is how, when and by whom is “right” defined. There is bare all. False premise leads to false conclusion Orangie This was not good. First, the subtitle "Why the Founding Document Doesn't Mean What It Meant Before" suggests that Sunstein puts forth an argument against Originalism. But rather than make that argument, he simply dismisses originalism saying that it "would make the constitutional system worse" and if "taken seriously, originalism would permit race and sex discrimination by the national government, sharply limit protection of speec
