Abstract

Stephen B. Presser: Recapturing the Constitution: Race, Religion, and Abortion Reconsidered. (Washington, DC: Regnery Publishing, 1994. Pp. xiv, 398. $24.95.)

With Recapturing the Constitution Steven Presser has launched a heat-seeking missile. It is, he confesses without contrition, "politically incorrect," "the same sort of exercise Allan Bloom was attempting in Closing of the American Mind" (pp. 12, 11). Presser aims to diagnose what ails our constitutional law as Bloom did our universities and culture. Presser argues that constitutional law is very sick indeed, and that it threatens to kill our body politic.
