Contents:

The political power of the Supreme Court -- American utopian constitutionalism -- Hamilton's court as conscience -- The umpire has no clothes -- Toward embracing Hamilton's ideal.

Summary: This book argues that, given the political power the Supreme Court enjoys today, the answer to preserving the separation of powers, democracy, and the American commitment to unalienable human rights is to encourage the Court to intentionally serve as the nation's collective conscience, just as it did in Brown v. Board of Education.
