Remnants of Belief: Contemporary Constitutional Issues

Designed as a supplement for constitutional law courses and seminars, this text by Seidman and Tushnet uses examples drawn from the popular press, public discussion and law articles to show how and why constittional debate has evolved into the political conundrum it has become. They examine the debates on issues such as free speech, criminal procedure, discrimination, and capital punishment, and the views of Robert Bork, Laurence Tribe, Cass Sunstein, and other prominent figures in the field.
