Active Liberty: Interpreting Our Democratic… par Stephen Breyer
author is Supreme Court justice
It’s a good book and I hope his replacement on the Supreme Court reads it. Targeted more to lawyers, but readable and generally understandable for non-lawyers. Good footnote references to cases for those who want to dive a little deeper.
Based on the "Tanner Lectures" at Harvard University in 2004, this book discusses constitutional law and liberty under the law. Breyer promulgates a concept entitled "active liberty" which presumably allows the law to maintain a pace with the changes in society and culture over time. I'm not sure that this is something that we should applaud.
