"In this sound, comprehensive, and up-to-date work, Patrick Garry provokes the reader to understand how the protection of speech is given far more absolute protection than religion. While this speech/religion clause comparison has been hinted at before, no one has presented it with greater clarity than Garry. - Douglas W. Kmiec, Caruso Chair and Professor of Constitutional Law, Pepperdine University """"If you've ever wondered why 'free exercise' of religion has been taking such a beating at the hands of the courts for the past half century, read this book.... Anyone interested in the state of church-state relations ought to have a look."""" - National Catholic Register """"Because of recent changes in the court and cases likely to come before it in the future, this is an essential purchase...."""" - Library Journal """"For those interested in how the courts have twisted the First Amendment's guarantee of religious liberty into an unseemly mess, this is the book to buy...."""" - William A. Donohue, President, Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights """"Patrick Garry offers a lively and provocative critique of the Supreme Court's approach to the establishment and free exercise clauses. Garry advocates a sea change in constitutional doctrine, one that would permit the government to favor religion in non-coercive ways."""" - Daniel O. Conkle, Robert H. McKinney Professor of Law, Indiana University School of Law-Bloomington"
