'Drakeman's treatment and criticisms of constitutional theory - whether of originalism or non-originalism - are unfailingly fair and insightful. His arguments for incorporating the framers' intent into constitutional interpretation today are historically rich and conceptually cogent. A penetrating book sure to be of great interest to the specialist and general reader alike.' Marc O. DeGirolami, Cary Fields Professor of Law, St. John's University School of Law 'Drakeman writes with clarity, wit, and power ...' Stephen B. Presser, The Federalist Society Review

Macleod, Law & Liberty 'Cuts against the grain of both liberal and modern originalist jurisprudence.' Stone Washington, City Journal 'The book is compelling. Greg Weiner' The Constitutionalist 'Drakeman speaks the unpleasant truth that rarely speaks its name: in-stead of taking their lead from the Constitution, many judges simply begin with their own sense of what the right outcome should be.'
