Often writing landmark opinions in pivotal cases, he affirmed and redefined liberty for our nation--protecting political speech, upholding a woman's right to choose, abolishing the death penalty for minors, and legalizing gay marriage.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow did a devout Catholic, conservative in both temperament and politics, and a 1988 Reagan appointee to the Court, end up delivering some of the most consequential decisions of our time? To understand Anthony Kennedy is to know that, for him, judging is independent of personal politics, preferences, and religious beliefs. His conviction that legal decisions must be driven by neutral principles led him to rulings that were both celebrated and criticized across political lines. He was sometimes called a \"swing vote,\" but the term misunderstands his approach. In Justice Kennedy's own words, \"The cases swing, I don't.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eLife, Law \u0026amp; Liberty, \u003c\/i\u003e Kennedy tells his story--filled with personal heartbreak and incredible accomplishment--and reflects on the nuanced\u003cbr\u003e role of a judge. A product of the American West, he became a deeply principled guardian of the justice, fairness, and liberty our Constitution guarantees. The last justice to be unanimously confirmed to the Court, Justice Anthony Kennedy shows us that thoughtful, respectful discourse is necessary in these otherwise fractious times. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Tracing a journey that includes a half century of service to our nation, Kennedy's memoir reminds us what it means to live with optimism and decency, and inspires us to cherish our democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthony Kennedy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 166805275X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781668052754\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Simon \u0026amp; Schuster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.38h x 5.50w x 1.52d","brand":"Anthony Kennedy","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623600730367,"sku":"9781668052754","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/life-law-liberty-anthony-kennedy-9781668052754","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
