Aziz Z. Huq examines what happens when our constitutional rights are violated. Many people think that federal courts will step in then and provide a remedy. But for most people, and especially for the vulnerable in our society, they won't lift a finger. As Huq argues, the powerful often get quicker access to the courts and more fulsome judicial review, which shows a break from the way in which the courts were originally designed. This book shows the deep ironies of judicial independence and charts a part of getting free of its most baleful effects.
