{"product_id":"supreme-hubris","title":"Supreme Hubris","description":"\u003cb\u003eHow to repair the dysfunction at the Supreme Court in a way that cuts across partisan ideologies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e The Supreme Court, once the most respected institution in American government, is now routinely criticized for rendering decisions based on the individual justices’ partisan leanings rather than on a faithful reading of the law. For legal scholar Aaron Tang, however, partisanship is not the Court’s root problem. Overconfidence is.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Conservative and liberal justices alike have adopted a tone of uncompromising certainty in their ability to solve society’s problems with just the right lawyerly arguments. The result is a Court that lurches stridently from one case to the next, delegitimizing opposing views and undermining public confidence in itself. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e To restore the Court’s legitimacy, Tang proposes a different approach to hard cases: a “least harm principle” under which the Court rules against the side with the greatest ability to avoid the harm it would suffer in defeat. Examining a surprising number of popular opinions where the Court has applied this approach, Tang shows how the least harm principle can provide a promising and legally grounded framework for the difficult cases that divide our nation.","brand":"Aaron Tang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42849123696701,"sku":"9780300264036","price":46.76,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9780300264036_9467a3ee-43ab-4c4d-b9e9-f222785c0e61.jpg?v=1766994582","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/supreme-hubris","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
