The Supreme Court of the United States enjoys a reputation, popularly undisputed, as the great protector of our inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The book dramatically challenges that reputation. It proves, on the contrary, that the Supreme Court is our most consistent destroyer of individual rights – and always has been. The book explains how the Court has failed to live up to its Constitutional mandate. More importantly, it explains why.      The author – Professor Emeritus of Constitutional Law – examines and dissects some sixty major Supreme Court decisions in seven crucial areas of the law which affect all our lives: business, property, contracts, religion, sex, speech and slavery. Traditional distinctions such as liberal and conservative are irrelevant is assessing blame, for both sides of the ideological coin are responsible.

Government's Money Monopoly

A distinct correlation exists between how free a society is and how much power its government has over money. Because the United State of America was supposed to be a free country, its government was granted comparatively few` monetary powers only to borrow and coin money, and regulate its value. Yet today the same government possesses total power over every aspect of Americas monetary system. With an octopus-like stranglehold, Washingtons control extends to gold, money, banking and much more. How and why the Founders limited intention was converted into omnipotent government monetary power is the subject of this book a collection of basic materials which, if properly understood, explain what happened. The authors thoughtful analysis leads to its concluding proposal: a constitutional amendment wholly separating government from money, the only way permanently to eliminate governments power over the monetary system.

Through the ages gold clauses have served as protection from inflation. Americans, however, were forbidden by law to own gold from 1934 to 1974. As gold ownership is once again legal, it is now possible to use the gold clause to protect ourselves from the destruction of paper money.This book explains exactly what gold clauses are, giving their background and how they have been used in the past. It documents how they were abrogated in 1934 and presents the legal cases stirred up over them. Most importantly THE GOLD CLAUSE thoroughly documents the current revival of their use, explains, why they are again valid, and details how to structure them avoiding the critical pitfalls such as state usury laws.The only complete presentation of all the legal foundations for gold clauses , this book is an invaluable sourcebook for all who would use them, from laymen to legal professionals.

The Gold Clause: What It Is and How to Use It Profitably

Jane Fonda’s visit to Hanoi in July 1972 and her pro–North Vietnamese, anti–American conduct, especially her pose with an anti-aircraft gun used to shoot down American planes and her propaganda broadcasts directed toward American troops, angered many Americans. In their eyes, she was guilty of treason, but she was never charged by the American legal system. Instead, she has made millions, been the recipient of countless awards, and remained an honored American icon. 
This work investigates Fonda’s activities in North Vietnam and argues that she could have been indicted for treason, that there would have been enough evidence to take the case to a jury, that she could have been convicted, and that a conviction probably would have been upheld on appeal. It also considers Fonda’s early life and the effect it had on her behavior and beliefs in her later years, her audience of American POWs who were forced by the Vietnamese to listen to her broadcasts condemning them as war criminals, her arrival in Vietnam and how it was viewed by American servicemen and civilians, the crime of treason throughout history, and the only Congressional inquiry into her actions, which resulted in the government’s decision to take no legal action against her. Texts of Fonda’s radio broadcasts to American servicemen comprise the appendix.

The Supreme Court Opinions of Clarence Thomas, 1991-2006: A Conservative's Perspective

In his fifteen years as an associate justice of the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas has written nearly 350 opinions. Thousands of Thomas's eloquent and thoughtful words are thus available for Americans to examine. Yet much of the public still bases its opinion of Thomas on the words of the American media, going as far back as the bruising confirmation battle of 1991. Widespread, uncritical acceptance of glib assumptions has greatly distorted the record and even the character of this formidable justice. This book offers readers the opportunity to consider the real Clarence Thomas-the formidable intellectual and defender of the Constitution, amply represented by his writings. It analyzes his most important majority, concurring, and dissenting opinions from 1991 through 2006. The author argues that Thomas's opinions reveal a consistent adherence to the principles of federalism, separation of powers, limited judicial review, and regard for individual rights as contemplated by the framers of the Constitution. An appendix contains a list of every opinion Thomas has written and notes whether it was a majority, concurring, or dissenting opinion.

In his twenty terms as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Clarence Thomas has written nearly 450 opinions. Although they are readily available to the American people, much of the public continues to base its view of Thomas merely on reporting of the media. This analysis of Thomas's most important majority, concurring, and dissenting opinions offers laypersons and legal professionals alike the opportunity to understand in his own words Thomas's approach to constitutional decision-making and his understanding of the most important provisions of the Constitution. Thomas's opinions, this work shows, reveal his consistent adherence to the core principles of federalism, separation of powers, and restrained judicial review, and to the regard for individual rights and limited government embodied by the Founders in the Constitution.
