For legal scholar Aaron Tang, however, partisanship is not the Court's root problem. Overconfidence is. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Conservative and liberal justices alike have adopted a tone of uncompromising certainty in their ability to solve society's problems with just the right lawyerly arguments. The result is a Court that lurches stridently from one case to the next, delegitimizing opposing views and undermining public confidence in itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e To restore the Court's legitimacy, Tang proposes a different approach to hard cases: one in which the Court acknowledges the arguments and interests on both sides and rules in the way that will do the least harm possible. Examining a surprising number of popular opinions where the Court has applied this approach--ranging from LGBTQ rights to immigration to juvenile justice--Tang shows how the least harm principle can provide a promising and legally grounded framework for the difficult cases that divide our nation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300264036\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328","brand":"Aaron Tang","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42924828917941,"sku":"9780300264036","price":25.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ea3bea47-5dc9-4523-9017-01d243a9f1cc.jpg?v=1687839193","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/supreme-hubris-how-overconfidence-is-destroying-the-court-and-how-we-can-fix-it-9780300264036","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
