A searing exposé and report card on the condition of the American court system a half-century after a secret revolution and national take-over by judges. This wide-ranging sociological and legal analytics study looks at the history and politics behind a new court monopoly, where judges assumed the power to declare ultimate law – a dangerous national development that has gone unchecked. The new judge system represents a seismic change in institutional character, leading to a profound, hidden, and detrimental impact on the elite thinking and behaviors of those who judge others as a profession.
