Don't Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It's Raining: America's Toughest Family Court Judge Speaks Out

Descriere: 0, n we get some reality in here?ߡsks Judy Sheindlin, former supervising judge for Manhattan Family Court. For twenty-four years she has laid down the law as she understands it: ● If you want to eat, you have to work. ● If you have children, you'd better support them.

Now she abandons all judicial restraint in a scathing critique of the system - filled with realistic hard-nosed alternatives to our bloated welfare bureaucracy and our soft-on-crime laws.

And now that a majority of justices on the U.S. Supreme Court champion originalism, the task of scrutinizing originalists' use and abuse of history has never been more urgent.
