For legal scholar Aaron Tang, however, partisanship is not the Court's root problem. Overconfidence is. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Conservative and liberal justices alike have adopted a tone of uncompromising certainty in their ability to solve society's problems with just the right lawyerly arguments. The result is a Court that lurches stridently from one case to the next, delegitimizing opposing views and undermining public confidence in itself. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e To restore the Court's legitimacy, Tang proposes a different approach to hard cases: one in which the Court acknowledges the arguments and interests on both sides and rules in the way that will do the least harm possible. Examining a surprising number of popular opinions where the Court has applied this approach--ranging from LGBTQ rights to immigration to juvenile justice--Tang shows how the least harm principle can provide a promising and legally grounded framework for the difficult cases that divide our nation.","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45035486871703,"sku":"9780300264036","price":2911.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780300264036.webp?v=1769211915","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/supreme-hubris-how-overconfidence-is-destroying-the-court-and-how-we-can-fix-it-9780300264036","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
