The Supreme Court vs. The Constitution


The NYU Federalist Society invites you to come hear Gerald Walpin, former US Inspector General and Assistant United States Attorney, discuss his new book, The Supreme Court v. The Constitution. 

Walpin argues that the Supreme Court, often by a bare majority, has "ignored the letter and spirit of the Constitution and its amendments in grabbing power that rightfully belongs to the Executive and Legislative branches, the states − and, ultimately, the people."
