In his new book
Packing the Court, Pulitzer Prize-winning FDR biographer
James MacGregor Burns argues that the Supreme Court's power of
judicial review is little more than an illegal power grab by
"unelected and unaccountable politicians in robes." But as
Associate Editor Damon W. Root writes, Burns' biased and cartoonish
arguments do a grave disservice to the important national debate
over the proper role of the judiciary in our republic.
