Bøker av Kermit Roosevelt

A very human perspective on the Israeli-Palestinian issue may be found in the gripping and poignant book War in the Garden of Eden. The author investigates the devastating effects of the war on common people, their families, and their communities via the narrative of a Palestinian family living in the West Bank. The book paints a moving picture of the everyday challenges Palestinians living under Israeli occupation confront, including travel restrictions, violence, and the destruction of their houses and means of support. It also emphasizes the Palestinian people's fortitude, bravery, and dignity in the face of hardship. War in the Garden of Eden is fundamentally a tale of compassion and optimism amid war. It forces readers to acknowledge the human cost of the region's continued strife and to envision a day when everyone may live in safety and harmony.

This carefully considered book is a welcome addition to the debate over judicial activism. Constitutional scholar Kermit Roosevelt III offers an elegantly simple way to resolve the heated discord between conservatives, who argue that the Constitution is immutable, and progressives, who insist that it is a living document that must be reinterpreted in new cultural contexts so that its meaning evolves. Roosevelt uses plain language and compelling examples to explain how the Constitution can be both a constant and an organic document.Recent years have witnessed an increasing drumbeat of complaints about judicial behavior, focusing particularly on Supreme Court decisions that critics charge are reflections of the Justices political preferences rather than enforcement of the Constitution. The author takes a balanced look at these controversial decisions through a compelling new lens of constitutional interpretation. He clarifies the task of the Supreme Court in constitutional cases, then sets out a model to describe how the Court creates doctrine to implement the meaning of the Constitution. Finally, Roosevelt uses this model to show which decisions can be justified as legitimate and which cannot.
