Book Reviews of Politically Incorrect Guide To The Constitution (Politically Incorrect Guides)
Book Review: 4 1/4th Stars
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked most of this book, though not all. Frankly, a lot of it is informative and very to the point. It encompasses a lot of the paradigmatic cases found in constitutional law classes. However, the pique for me is the 10th amendment and latter liberties like pornography, and other "morally" questionable actions (e.g. homosexuality) and the author's subsequent implied moral dispositions to them. I know I know, I shouldn't read into the author's psychology but it seems to me that just because homosexuality or internet pornography isn't enumerated in the constitution does not necessitate its exclusion from "the people."
The book is mostly predisposed to defending states' rights. And that is good vis-a-vis an over looming federal judiciary. But there are some shortcomings to states' rights and state governments that ought to be supplanted by individual rights "delegated...to the people" as evidenced in the 10th amendment.
But for the most part Gutzman covers the historical complexities behind the Constitution and dispels a lot of myths. It's worth the read.
