Kenneth Star is a lightning rod when it comes to politics, but you can't deny the work he's done looking at comprehensive impact the Supreme Court has had, and continues to have on our daily lives. The oft forgotten prong of our balanced government, the Supreme Court may be the most important, and Starr does an admirable job bringing that into focus of our day to day grind in laymen's terms. He has a few pointed political attacks - so whether your a fan or a foe of his opinions, just be aware that he doesn't pull any punches on his opinions about Miranda v. Arizona, Bush v. Gore and so forth. ( ) no reviews | add a review
