The Return of George Sutherland Zusammenfassung

The Return of George Sutherland: Restoring a Jurisprudence of Natural Rights Hadley Arkes

This treatise seeks to restore the jurisprudence of the late Justice of the US Supreme Court George Sutherland - a jurisprudence anchored in the understanding of natural rights. The doctrine of natural rights has become controversial at the present time, while Sutherland has been widely maligned and screened from historical memory. He is remembered today as one of the four horsemen who resisted Roosevelt and the New Deal; but his leadership in the cause of voting rights for women has been forgotten. Both liberal and conservative jurists now deride Sutherland, yet both groups continue to draw upon his writings. Liberals took to Sutherland for a jurisprudence that protected privacy against the rule of majorities, as in matters concerning abortion or gay rights. However, both liberals and conservatives deny the premises of natural rights that provided the ground, and coherence, of Sutherland's teaching. The author of this study contends that Sutherland can supply what is missing in both conservative and liberal jurisprudence.

The Return of George Sutherland Bewertungen

Advocating that the Supreme Court again espouse natural- rightsjurisprudence is an ambitious undertaking, as is attempting to rehabilitate the Supreme Court justice who, for many, personifies the ideas behind substantive due process. Hadley Arkes accomplishes both tasks with rhetorical skill and intellectual tenacity.... An important book ... that challenges us to view constitutional rights afresh through the powerful lens of natural law.---Steven J. Eagle, The Wall Street Journal
Clearly and cogently and even dramatically done.... Hadley Arkes leads us into the deepest jungles of constitutional thought.... His is a stimulating safari.---Louis Auchincloss, The New Criterion
Arkes's work is a welcome addition to this emerging body of constitutional thought. If given the attention it deserves, it may well fulfill both objectives embodied in its title.---Judge Alex Kozinski, National Review
