"The United States Supreme Court," writes Sotirios A. Barber, "is being strangled by the combined forces of skillful enemies and incompetent friends, forces united in their inability either to grasp or tolerate constitutional law as an independent moral voice on American politics." In The Constitution of Judicial Power, Barber attack New Right ideas about constitutional interpretation as well as those liberals who have abandoned the classical constitutionalism that alone justifies a tradition of judicial activism. The best hope for American aspirations, Barber argues, is to revive classical constitutionalism--and he explains how recent developments in philosophy enable friends of the judiciary to do just that.
