This book vividly demonstrates that, through a series of decisions concerning the federal courts' jurisdiction, the Supreme Court recently has gravely impaired individuals' constitutional rights by foreclosing meaningful judicial remedies for their violation. Larry Yackle makes a compelling case that these 'door-closing' decisions are as damaging to human rights as decisions that directly curtail such rights. By thoroughly analyzing these critically important decisions, Yackle makes an essential contribution to civil liberties and civil rights. His concrete, constructive suggestions for legislative reform should be given the most serious consideration by Congress and constitutional scholars. -- Nadine Strossen President, American Civil Liberties Union, and Professor of Law, New York Law School
