Reviews
The Meese Revolution is more than just a biography of an influential figure. It is required reading for anyone from any political persuasion who wants to understand the recent history of the Supreme Court. Told by two insiders, the book explains how a once little-known idea championed by Reagan's attorney general ended up shaping the law of the land. This is the untold and crucial story of how originalism, the now dominant approach to constitutional interpretation, entered the mainstream. --Corey Brettschneider, author of The Presidents and the People, "This book is a warm and grateful tribute to Ed Meese, the "most influential and powerful attorney-general in American history." Not only was Meese primarily responsible for the creation of "originalism," the now dominant method of constitutional interpretation in our national jurisprudence, but he was also President Reagan's de facto counsellor during his administration and a major hidden hand in the developments of subsequent Republican presidencies. The authors reveal what Meese's extraordinary modesty has kept obscured for all these years. A marvelous achievement!" -- Gordon S.

Synopsis
Ed Meese was known in 1985 for his devotion to President Ronald Reagan, his boundless energy, and his rock-ribbed conservatism. Some delegates were no doubt curious to see whether this former state prosecutor, San Diego School of Law professor, and best friend of a movie star turned politician was really up to the job of serving as Attorney General of the United States. Everyone probably expected a welcoming speech full of pablum about the importance of the lawyers' guild, pay increases for judges, and respect for the rule of law (with no definition of what that might mean). Little did they know that they were about to hear one of the most important legal speeches in 234 years of American history - a speech that has reverberated throughout American constitutional law for the last four decades and has radically changed the course of our republic in ways that few today appreciate., The Meese Revolution explores how Ed Meese became the most powerful and important Attorney General in American history. Edwin Meese III is the most influential person ever to hold the office of U.S. Attorney General - and almost no one knows it. Ed Meese was at the center of virtually every major accomplishment of Ronald Reagan's transformative presidency, from winning the Cold War without firing a shot to the economic boom that by the end of the 1980s was the envy of the world. More to the point for this book, Ed Meese is the person most responsible for the rise of constitutional originalism, which treats the text and original meaning of the Constitution rather than the policy fads of the moment as authoritative law. In 2024, originalism is a major force in the courts, with a majority of Supreme Court justices and a raft of lower-court and state-court judges at least taking it seriously as a major contributor to decision-making. That result was unthinkable in 1985 when Meese took office and originalism was essentially unknown to the legal academy and almost wholly absent from the judicial process. Ed Meese turned the U.S. Department of Justice into "the academy in exile," where originalism was developed, refined, theorized, and put into practice. This book describes the rise of originalism, which necessitates telling the story of Ed Meese, without whom it surely does not happen. Meese's story threads through virtually all important legal and policy events of the 1980s, many of which continue to shape the world of the twenty-first century. We are still living through the Meese Revolution.

- 7***k (3)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letztes JahrBestätigter KaufVery pleased with this transaction! Seller was flexible with best offer price, which was for a personal replacement item - I'm not a reseller, so I wasn't trying to make money off this transaction. The item was described as used, but was in great condition, and providing precise measurements meant it fit perfectly. The price was competitive with other similar items. It shipped and arrived in a timely manner, as promised, and was packaged very well, considering it was a fragile, vintage piece.Antique Vintage Art Deco/Nouveau Nu Gold Swirl Design Torchiere Lamp Shade (Nr. 285942461906)
