Review:
I did not check when I started, but Stuart Banner is a member of the Federalist Society. I knew something was off as I started reading the book because the first step was to normalize politicization of the Supreme Court. It worried me as it started, but as the book went on it became an apologist for such things as Dred Scott (bad decision, but Tawney was a pretty good guy). As I was listening to the book after about a quarter of the way through things added up and I checked to see if Banner was a member of the Federalist Society. Sure enough, he was. So I started this book thinking that I was getting a historian's perspective and I realized that I was getting a right twist on everything. Really threw me off coming from a UCLA professor in good standing.
