Democracy and Equality: The Enduring Constitutional Vision of the Warren CourtFrom 1953 to 1969, the Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren brought about many of the proudest achievements of American constitutional law. The Warren declared racial segregation and laws forbidding interracial marriage to be unconstitutional; it expanded the right of citizens to criticize public officials; it held school prayer unconstitutional; and it ruled that people accused of a crime must be given a lawyer even if they can't afford one.

From 1953 to 1969, the Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren brought about many of the proudest achievements of American constitutional law. The Warren declared racial segregation and laws forbidding interracial marriage to be unconstitutional; it expanded the right of citizens to criticize public officials; it held school prayer unconstitutional; and it ruled that people accused of a crime must be given a lawyer even if they can't afford one. Yet, despite those and other achievements, conservative critics have fiercely accused the justices of the Warren Court of abusing their authority by supposedly imposing their own opinions on the nation.

As the eminent legal scholars Geoffrey R. Stone and David A. Strauss demonstrate in Democracy and Equality, the Warren Court's approach to the Constitution was consistent with the most basic values of our Constitution and with the most fundamental responsibilities of our judiciary. Stone and Strauss describe the Warren Court's extraordinary achievements by reviewing its jurisprudence across a range of issues addressing our nation's commitment to the values of democracy and equality. In each chapter, they tell the story of a critical decision, exploring the historical and legal context of each case, the Court's reasoning, and how the justices of the Warren Court fulfilled the Court's most important responsibilities.

This powerfully argued evaluation of the Warren Court's legacy, in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the end of the Warren Court, both celebrates and defends the Warren Court's achievements against almost sixty-five years of unrelenting and unwarranted attacks by conservatives. It demonstrates not only why the Warren Court's approach to constitutional interpretation was correct and admirable, but also why the approach of the Warren Court was far superior to that of the increasingly conservative justices who have dominated the Supreme Court over the past half-century.

Great besides the finish
Color: Wooden, Size: Medium
These are great. Only thing I wish it would’ve mentioned is they aren’t finished and can give you splinters unlike other shelves. But otherwise, they work for what they needed for, looks great, and easy to assemble for the price. They seem sturdy, but I don’t have much weight on it. Just something to keep from the kiddo

Small shelves, great value
Color: Wooden, Size: Medium
These shelves were great for an area out of the way, would not be perfect for everyone. Super sturdy and easy to install however the wood seems untreated and still a bit rough. The brackets don’t blend well and seem a bit out of place but these small and light shelves have been great at holding small items. I might not trust them with anything too heavy but they have held anything I tried. Only complaint is that they are a bit on the small side as far as depth goes. Other than that, they are awesome. If the brackets looked more sleek and the wood was stained it would be perfect for anywhere.

Great shelves that look cute and are affordable!
Color: Wooden, Size: Medium, Color: Wooden, Size: Medium
These worked perfectly for what I needed them for. I make plushies and needed a way to store and show off the pieces I plan to keep. They were very easy to put together and hang. I did use a laser to make sure everything was nice and straight and also measuring tape to make sure they were evenly placed. Other than that it comes with everything you need to put them together, like a screwdriver. I found the screwdriver to be kind of bad because the tip of it was too soft and after like 8 screws, the tip had no more edges and would just spin. It stripped itself. But that’s okay, I had my own screwdriver. So if you buy these, make sure you have one or else be very careful with the one they give you. Other than that, they are super affordable, cute, easy to hang and look good. In the pictures I added, I am still in the process of organizing the plushies so they do look a little cramped and messy. I figured I would still add them so you get an idea of how they look. I think they look pretty nice and would look even better if I organized my plushies better lol. I def recommend these shelves and I hope this review helps you! :)
