| Publisher Description: The Constitution, said Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia ominously in March 2003, just sets minimums. Most of the rights that you enjoy go way beyond what the Constitution requires. In The War on the Bill of Rights-and the Gathering Resistance, nationally syndicated columnist and Village Voice mainstay Nat Hentoff draws on untapped sources-from reporters, resisters, and civil liberties law professors across the country to administration insiders-to piece together the true dimensions of the ongoing assault on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. |
