Great Bio on a Great Justice
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This book was a fantastic look at the complex mind of a self-described, "backward country fellow." Black was what we might term an "originalist" for his strict adherence to the Constitution and Bill of Rights, but being a liberal, be firmly believed what judges were allowed to do gave them immeasurable powers to enforce the rights and liberties of the people! Dunne gives us more than just a biography; he gives us an analysis of how Black came to develop his fascinating theory of Constitutional interpretation and some hints surrounding why near the end of his life he grew so conservative. It is a great book, and I highly recommend it.
