In \u003ci\u003eRegulatory Rights\u003c\/i\u003e, Larry Yackle sets out to convince readers that such arguments fundamentally misconceive both the work that justices do and the character of the American Constitution in whose name they do it. It matters who sits on the Supreme Court, he argues, precisely because justices \u003ci\u003edo\u003c\/i\u003e create individual constitutional rights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTraversing a wide range of Supreme Court decisions that established crucial precedents about racial discrimination, the death penalty, and sexual freedom, Yackle contends that the rights we enjoy are neither more nor less than what the justices choose to make of them. \u003ci\u003eRegulatory Rights\u003c\/i\u003e is a bracing read that will be heatedly debated by all those interested in constitutional law and the judiciary.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Yackle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226944719\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226944715\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.48w x 0.82d","brand":"Larry Yackle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086430220543,"sku":"9780226944715","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7d21dec2-681a-4ebe-a3c6-2f1ed628eaee.jpg?v=1769094626","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/regulatory-rights-larry-yackle-9780226944715","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
