Download or read book Constitutional Choices written by Laurence H. Tribe and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1985 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging the ruling premises underlying many of the Supreme Court's positions on fundamental issues of government authority and individual rights, Tribe shows how the Court is increasingly coming to resemble a judicial Office of Management and Budget, straining constitutional discourse through a managerial sieve to defend its constitutional rulings. Tribe explains how the Court's "calculus" systematically excludes basic concerns about the distribution of wealth and power and conceals fundamental choices about the American polity. Calling for a more candid confrontation of those choices, Tribe exposes what has gone wrong and suggests how the Court can reclaim the historic role entrusted to it by the Constitution.
