Syndicated columnist George Will recently reviewed the book, writing:<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since the New Deal, courts have stopped defending liberty of contract and other unenumerated rights grounded in America&#8217;s natural rights tradition. These are referred to by the Ninth Amendment, which explicitly protects unenumerated rights &#8220;retained by the people,&#8221; and by the &#8220;privileges or immunities&#8221; and &#8220;liberty&#8221; cited in the 14th Amendment. Progressivism, Bernstein argues, is hostile to America&#8217;s premise that individuals possess rights that pre-exist government and are not fully enumerated in the Constitution. This doctrine stands athwart liberalism&#8217;s aspiration to erase constitutional limits on government&#8217;s regulatory powers.&#8221;<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Federalist Society will host David Bernstein, professor at George Mason University School of Law and regular contributor to The Volokh Conspiracy, next Tuesday (11\/1) at 1:15 pm in L-165.
