Elie Mystal's book, subtitled "A Black Guy's Guide to the Constitution," contains the requisite anger needed for our times while also breaking down the errors of the Supreme Court and what can be done to reverse them. It is bracing to read how the very Constitution conservatives pretend to revere is utterly discarded when it comes to due process rights or, for example, the Ninth Amendment. His case for eliminating the Electoral College is airtight, as is his opposition to forced birth laws. It becomes clear on finishing this helpful work that the opponents of fascism are going to have to take a much more radical approach to defending democracy, or else all is doomed.
