Sumario:"Bamberger urges legislators to avoid the political motives that lead to "reckless legislation" and recommends that they "make full use of the full panoply of available support services ... for a better and deeper knowledge of the issues raised.""--Jacket.
"Reckless Legislation examines several salient cases of legislators circumventing constitutionality. The examples include regulation of the Internet by Congress and two state legislatures: reliance by legislatures in Minnesota, Indiana, and Tennessee on "experts" to justify passage of unconstitutional laws; repeated passage of unconstitutional laws in New York and Missouri relating, respectively, to religion and abortion; as well as the efforts by members of Congress to reverse Supreme Court decisions they deem faulty or harmful."--Jacket.
