Undermining the Constitution; a History of Lawless Government. By Thomas James Norton: New York: the Devin-adair Company, 1950. Pp. Xiv, 351. Distributed Without Charge by the Committee for Constitutional Government |
60 Yale Law Journal 1064 (June, 1951) |
This book is the work of a bitter man. The gloom of Mr. Norton's ideas, is matched only by the sweep of his lamentations, and the disorder of his style. Here is a fairly typical sample: As big a thing as the great American Republic could not have been put on the skids without years of steady work. Beginning with 1933, Socialism (control by... |

What the Supreme Court Did Not Do During the 1950 Term |
100 University of Pennsylvania Law Review 354 (December, 1951) |
This article is an encore to last year's survey of the denials of certiorari over the preceding term--not so much because of the applause, but because it is thought that the by-product of the Court's work may be as significant for the national interest as the work itself. It is, of course, misleading to contrast the 114 cases decided by the... |
