Con Law 101

NewMexiKen is currently reading Perilous Times: Free Speech in Wartime: From the Sedition Act of 1798 to the War on Terrorism by Geoffrey R. Stone and intending to follow it with America’s Constitution: A Biography by Akhil Reed Amar.

You might prefer instead Constitutional law: the five-minute crash course by Walter Dellinger.

Best line from the five-minute crash course: “Finally, one needs to understand judicial restraint, the doctrine that a judge should avoid ‘legislating from the bench’ and should instead strictly apply the text of the Constitution ‘exactly as written.’ This approach is very appealing to those who have never read the Constitution.
