Overview

Dramatically, the book cover shows the people of the United States watching in disbelief as the Supreme Court goes up in flames through its actions. By twisting the meaning of the Constitution and ignoring how it was meant to be applied, the Court has strayed from its true purpose and made you less safe. For years, we've been told the Supreme Court's decisions are the ""law of the land."" But what if they're not? What if those decisions, instead of protecting us, have weakened your safety, your freedom, and the very foundation of our democracy? This book uncovers a shocking truth: the Supreme Court has often twisted the Constitution, ignoring its original meaning to justify its decisions. By examining key rulings in plain language and the judges' language in their opinions, you'll see how the Court's actions have impacted your life. Even Chief Justice John Roberts famously asked in one of his opinions, ""Who do we think we are?"" James Madison once said, ""Truth, not the word of teachers"", meaning seek out the truth yourself with all resources you can find. Have your teachings about the Constitution and role of the Court been correct? This eye-opening book will make you think differently about what you've been taught-and make you question whether we are being ruled by a tyrannical oligarchy. Are you ready to challenge what you thought you knew?

Don Brockett's book well documents the historical debate over how the US Constitution should be interpreted. The book points out it was the Supreme Court that declared its superiority over constitutional interpretation. Don addresses judicial excesses he finds when the Supreme Court Justices look beyond the Constitution's plain words and interprets the Constitution as if it is today's document without respect to written intent. Appointment of Supreme Court Justices tend to follow political trends. In a presidential election year who is elected and makes Justice's appointments will by those selections establish American legal, social and political answers for the next 15 years. While I view the Constitution as a living document to be interpreted to respect human, technological and societal effects, the issues Don raises are worth respecting and knowing. -Richard P. Guy, Chief Justice of the Washington State Supreme Court (Ret.) Don Is Truly a Constitutional Scholar. I read this book early this month and I was humbled by the experience. I consider myself fairly well versed on the Constitution, but Don's well researched approach to the topic of The Supreme Court impressed me greatly. The domino effect of misinterpretations of the Constitution has much to do with the sad state in which we are today. Every American should read this book. -Rick V, Vancouver WA

Author Information

I was born in Chicago IL in 1936. As a child my family was nomadic moving to Los Angeles, CA, Santa Barbara, CA, and eventually to Spokane WA in 1947. I graduated from Lewis & Clark High School in Spokane in 1954. I then attended Gonzaga University and graduated from the GU Law School in 1961. After passing the bar exam, I began a 33 year career in the Spokane County Prosecuting Attorney's office, 25 years as the elected Prosecuting Attorney. I retired in 1995 and discovered I had cancer so I endured chemotherapy treatment for the next 9 months. I then entered private practice with the law firm Phillabaum, Ledlin, Matthews & Sheldon, retiring after seven years of active civil practice and practiced with the firm as ""of counsel"". After practicing for 52 years, I became an honorary member of Washington State Bar Association. Then getting an urge to write about the U.S. Supreme Court, because of my concern with how it had affected the country in violation of the Constitution, I began my search of its cases. The result was ""The Tyrannical Rule Of The U.S. Supreme Court; How The Court Has Violated The Constitution"" which was published in 2015. My new book titled: ""How The U.S. Supreme Court Has Made You Less Safe! A distortion of constitutional proportions"" is now being released. I have been married to the former Nerita Jean Corigliano for 65 years. We had 5 children, 4 daughters and one son. One of our daughters, Lisa, died in a plane crash in 1987. We currently have 13 grandchildren, 18 great-grandchildren with two more on the way, and one great-great grandchild on the way.
