They’re on a “rampage,” writes Gerald Walpin, one of the country’s top litigators, in his astonishing new book, The Supreme Court Vs. The Constitution. And it takes just five of them to lay waste to the rights of 300 million Americans. A mostly bare majority of justices of the United States Supreme Court, the only judicial body enshrined in the U.S. Constitution, have spent recent decades reversing, revoking and rescinding the fundamental guarantees of that sacred document to the people of America. They’ve freed thousands of murderers, rewritten sound and time-tested laws, crippled religious liberty, enabled the spread of pornography and immorality. They have ignored the letter and spirit of the Constitution and its amendments in grabbing power that rightfully belongs to the Executive and Legislative branches, the states − and, ultimately, the people. Gerald Walpin, who prosecuted criminals and pursued crooked bureaucrats as a federal Inspector General nominated by President George W. Bush and confirmed by the U.S. Senate, and, many years before, as a top prosecutor for the Department Of Justice in New York, dramatically sets out the deliberate push by a bare majority of Supreme Court justices to usurp the role of our country’s elected lawmakers and executives. The justices time and again seize the rightful authority of those we elect to represent us, and with unchallengeable arrogance undermine the “inalienable rights” that long have made the United States the world’s brightest beacon of freedom, democracy, and personal security. According to Mr. Walpin, who also served for many years as head of litigation at a noted New York law firm, the Framers of the Constitution and those who drafted and championed the Bill of Rights and the 17 additional amendments carefully considered and meant every word they wrote. But the “activist” justices of the Supreme Court pay little heed to their language or intent as they “legislate from the bench” and deprive us of rights that our Constitution was adopted to protect. His book carefully lays out the history of court rulings, providing quotations from the justices’ own writings and dramatic actual facts from cases, to document each illegitimate assumption of power by activist justices. Yet it is so clearly and simply written that one does not have to be a lawyer to see unequivocally where the fault lies. Elegantly crafted and flawlessly researched, The Supreme Court Vs. The Constitution will have Americans on their feet, demanding that these justices obey and uphold the laws of this land, and that future appointees to the Court not be confirmed unless they pledge to do so. Gerald Walpin’s work will spark a revolution in thought about the Supreme Court, and a new outpouring of appreciation for the brilliant legacy of America’s Founding Fathers. “Gerald Walpin, an experienced New York litigator, has written a provocative and insightful study, accessible to the lay reader” that “offers one concrete example after another of ‘constitutional’ decisions more firmly rooted in the beliefs of the judges who wrote them than in the [Constitution] they purport to interpret.” - Hon. Michael Mukasey Former U.S. Attorney General and Former Chief Judge of U.S. District Court in New York “Gerald Walpin injects a breath of fresh air … with his bracing critique [that] asks why a mere five Justices … should be allowed to replace the intentions of the writers of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution with their own preferences. Everyone who worries about the loss of the Framers’ vision at the hands of an imperial judiciary will want to read this book.” - John Yoo Professor, Constitutional Law, University of California (Berkeley) and Former Assistant U.S. Attorney General

The U.S. has become the world’s leading jailer, housing 22.4% of the world’s inmates, but has only 4.6% of its population. Myth: The staggering, budget-breaking price tag of this hyper-incarceration is justified by our low crime rates. Reality: Connecticut’s prison population has soared from 3,800 to 17,000 since 1980, mostly with non-violent drug users. Annual spending on prisons now exceeds $1 billion at $51,000/year to house each inmate. Yet, hyper- incarceration has a negligible impact on public safety. Over 95% of Connecticut’s prisoners are eventually released, most without adequate supervision, and ill-equipped to succeed on the outside. Well over half end up back in prison. We need to stop this revolving door. The state’s failure to rehabilitate its offenders exacts an enormous cost on our state budget and a devastating human toll that is crippling our cities. The current system is not sustainable. The Justice Imperative: Reforms in states like Texas and Oregon demonstrate that Connecticut can slash costs, lower recidivism, increase public safety and create better and more productive lives for ex-offenders and their families.

Before there were multimillionaires lurking around every corner of 57th Street in New York and buying up mansion blocks in London’s toniest neighborhoods, you used to be able to count the really rich on one, maybe two, hands. And in that simpler epoch, Aristotle Onassis was the one of a few real self-made multimillionaires, toasted and admired by kings, politicians and the global jet set, and the object of fascination by journalists and the world’s public. His life may have seemed an open book, but there was so much going on behind the scenes. Always close by in Onassis’ later years was his trusted aide Paul Ioannidis, a decorated war hero and pilot who helped Onassis build Greece’s small domestic airline with just 15 (1 DC-4 and 14 DC-3s) aircraft into a major international airline, Olympic Airways. For nearly half a century, Ioannidis, who served as Director General of the Onassis-owned Olympic Airways and as one of the founding board members, of the Alexander S. Onassis Foundation, shared a special relationship with Onassis as well as with his children, Alexander and Christina. Paul Ioannidis’ memoir, “DESTINY PREVAILS: My life with Aristotle, Alexander, Christina Onassis and her daughter, Athina,” recounts for the first time, the true, tragic saga of the Onassis family and their fortune estimated, at the time, more than half a billion dollars. Ioannidis tells the tale of the fabulous growth of Olympic Airways. With routes all over the world and a cabin staff outfitted in Pierre Cardin. In April 1960, Olympic set a new flight time record between London and Athens when the Comet 4B was introduced on that route. First-class guests were served, in real crystal glasses, champagne with caviar and ate gourmet meals with golden cutlery earning a reputation of luxury. With the tremendous success of this global transport empire, Onassis became the prototypical one-man business conglomerate, the type we associate today with tycoons such Richard Branson or Donald Trump. With holdings in almost 100 companies around the world, his reach was truly incredible for his time. Onassis’ personal life was the stuff of rigorous tabloid coverage, as well. He lived mostly on his opulent 325-foot yacht, the Christina, where he entertained everyone from Winston Churchill and the Kennedys to Marilyn Monroe. While married to the daughter of another Greek shipping magnate, Tina Livanos, he carried on a years-long and very public affair with the beautiful opera diva, Maria Callas. It ended only when Onassis met and married recently widowed U.S. First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy shortly after her brother-in-law was assassinated in 1968. In Destiny Prevails, Ioannidis describes what it was like to be so close to the Onassis family during this tumultuous time. He is there in the hospital room when Onassis’ learns his beloved son Alexander, fatally injured in a routine test flight, is brain dead and will never recover. He is at the cockpit controls when a married Onassis takes a private flight to Crete with his lover, the opera singer Maria Callas. He also watches the strain between Jackie Kennedy and Onassis’ only daughter, Christina, over the terms of Aristotle’s will. And after Christina’s untimely death at the age of 38 from an “acute pulmonary edema,” he is the one to fly her body back from Argentina to Skorpios, the family island, for burial. Ioannidis’ story, which also relays his own experiences as a resistance fighter against the Nazis, unfolds accompanied by dozens of photographs, intimate details and documentary evidence, including a photo of Onassis’ handwritten will, a note from Maria to Aristotle and a thank-you letter from Jackie Kennedy to Onassis. Ioannidis' insider perspective and his concise and detailed prose make Destiny Prevails a must read for anyone interested in a fascinating slice of Greek history or the story of Aristotle Onassis, one of the most fascinating characters in the story of the modern world.
