Synopsis

An out-of-control judiciary is the single greatest threat to democracy and the religious and moral foundations of America

About this title

From the Inside Flap:

For the past century, America's federal judges have steadily expanded their authority, reaching far beyond the rights given by the Constitution. And in the past fifty years, this perversion of justice and the radicalization of the courts has only escalated. Liberal courts have charged ahead of Congress, waging war on morality, values and time-honored custom. Their unrestricted power goes largely unchecked today and threatens the very foundations of Liberty.

In "Courting Disaster", Pat Robertson examines the evidence for this assault on American democracy and provides a compelling portrait of what's really at stake. This landmark work reveals how judicial activism has eroded the rights of individuals, states and local communities, and how it is dramatically altering our form of government -- defying the will of the people. "Courting Disaster" calls for an objective look at the consequences of this crisis -- hostility to religion, radical individualism, destruction of moral standards and the devaluing of human life -- showing how a just and civil society is being destroyed from within.

"Courting Disaster" is a bold, thoroughly documented, and powerful challenge to all Americans to take action. And it offers a fresh, penetrating list of tactical strategies that citizens can employ before time runs out.
