The War On The Bill Rights by Nat Hentoff
The Constitution, said Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia ominously in March 2003, just sets minimums. Most of the rights that you enjoy go way beyond what the Constitution requires. In The War on the Bill of Rights-and the Gathering Resistance, nationally syndicated columnist and Village Voice mainstay Nat Hentoff draws on untapped sources-from reporters, resisters, and civil liberties law professors across the country to administration insiders-to piece together the true dimensions of the ongoing assault on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Award-winning journalist and social commentator Nat Hentoff (1925-2017) was one of the most prolific jazz writers of the '50s and '60s, providing liner notes for countless albums, as well as writing or editing several books on jazz, including Hear Me Talkin' to Ya: The Story of Jazz as Told by the Men Who Made It. His writing appeared in Esquire, Harper's, and the Village Voice, where he wrote for 50 years. In 1995, he received the National Press Foundation's award for lifetime achievement, and in 2004, he was the first non-musician to win the honor of being named one of six Jazz Masters by the NEA.
