Book Description
Spann (law, Georgetown U.) savages the notion that the US Supreme Court is the guardian of minority rights: the method of their nomination ensures that they share the political preferences of the ruling elite; once on the court, justices are subject to societal opinion that disregards minorities; the landmark 1954 civil rights case has centralized affirmative action and convinced minorities of the futility of any efforts of their own toward self-determination; reliance on a small group of majoritarians legitimates the social subordination of minorities.
