In Freedom of Expression in the Supreme Court, Terry Eastland
brings together the Court's leading First Amendment cases, some 60
in all, starting with Schenck v. United States (1919) and ending
with Reno v. American Civil Liberties Union (1998). Complete with a
comprehensive introduction, pertinent indices and a useful
bibliography, Freedom of Expression in the Supreme Court offers the
general and specialized reader alike a thorough treatment of the
Court's understanding on the First Amendment's speech, press,
assembly, and petition clauses.
In the 1960s, we resolved as a nation never to judge people by the
color of their skin. But today, race-based public policy has once
again become the norm, this time under the banner of affirmative
action. How, asks Terry Eastland, did such a turnabout take place,
and how can we restore colorblind law in America today? In this
compelling and powerful book, Eastland lays bare the absurdities
and injustices of affirmative action, and presents the strongest
case to date for doing away with race-based and gender-based
preferences-- a ringing call for all Americans to reclaim our
nation's shared values of equal protection under the law, without
reference to race, color, creed, gender, or national origin.
