How To Keep Antifa Sympathizers From Running America's Law Schools And Courtrooms

In 'Lawless: The Miseducation of America’s Elites,' Ilya Shapiro examines the transformation of higher education and legal education in the United States. He argues that prestigious law schools have been overtaken by radical student movements and biased faculty, leading to a decline in critical thinking, logical argumentation, and respect for opposing views. Shapiro draws from his personal experiences, including a controversial tweet that led to calls for his firing from Georgetown Law, to illustrate the institutional weaknesses and ideological capture of America’s law schools. The book warns that this trend has significant implications for the future of the legal profession, government, and society as a whole.

In 'Supreme Disorder,' Ilya Shapiro explores the contentious history of Supreme Court nominations, highlighting how the process has become increasingly politicized. Shapiro argues that the federal judiciary's deviation from the Constitution's original public meaning has contributed to the politicization of the courts, making judicial review less legitimate. He discusses various proposals for reform, from term limits to court-packing, but concludes that no quick fix exists for the judicial system's crisis of legitimacy. The book emphasizes the need to restore the Supreme Court’s legitimacy by ensuring it operates more in line with the original constitutional order.
