Summary:
"In an age of executive overreach, what role do American citizens have in safeguarding our Constitution and defending liberty? Must we rely on the federal courts, and the Supreme Court above all, to protect our rights? In 'Engines of liberty,' the esteemed legal scholar David Cole argues that we all have a part to play in the grand civic dramas of our era
--
and in a revised introduction and conclusion, he proposes specific tactics for fighting Donald Trump's policies. Examining the most successful rights movements of the last thrity years, Cole reveals how groups of ordinary Americans confronting long odds have managed, time and time again, to convince the courts to grant new rights and protect existing ones. A fundamentally new explanation of how our Constitution works and the part citizens play in it, 'Engines of liberty' is an essential guidebook for anyone who seeks to stand up for fundamental civil liberties and rights." --Back cover.
