Men in Black: How Judges Are Destroying America
Mark R. Levin
Politics / Nonfiction / Philosophy
"A modern conservative classic." - Sean Hannity *
"Men in Black couldn’t be more timely or important….a tremendously important and compelling book.” - Rush Limbaugh *
“One of the finest books on the Constitution and the judiciary I’ve read in a long time….There is no better source for understanding and grasping the seriousness of this issue.” - Edwin Meese III *
“The Supreme Court has broken through the firewalls constructed by the framers to limit judicial power.”
“America’s founding fathers had a clear and profound vision for what they wanted our federal government to be,” says constitutional scholar Mark R. Levin in his explosive book, Men in Black. “But today, our out-of-control Supreme Court imperiously strikes down laws and imposes new ones to suit its own liberal whims––robbing us of our basic freedoms and the values on which our country was founded.”
In * Men in Black: How the Supreme Court Is Destroying America* , Levin exposes countless examples of outrageous Supreme Court abuses, from promoting racism in college admissions, expelling God and religion from the public square, forcing states to confer benefits on illegal aliens, and endorsing economic socialism to upholding partial-birth abortion, restraining political speech, and anointing terrorists with rights.
Levin writes: “Barely one hundred justices have served on the United States Supreme Court. They’re unelected, they’re virtually unaccountable, they’re largely unknown to most Americans, and they serve for life…in many ways the justices are more powerful than members of Congress and the president.… As few as five justices can and do dictate economic, cultural, criminal, and security policy for the entire nation.”
In * Men in Black, * you will learn:
How the Supreme Court protects virtual child pornography and flag burning as forms of free speech but denies teenagers the right to hear an invocation mentioning God at a high school graduation ceremony because it might be “coercive.” How a former Klansman and virulently anti-Catholic Supreme Court justice inserted the words “wall of separation” between church and state in a 1947 Supreme Court decision––a phrase repeated today by those who claim to stand for civil liberty. How Justice Harry Blackmun, a one-time conservative appointee and the author of Roe v. Wade, was influenced by fan mail much like an entertainer or politician, which helped him to evolve into an ardent activist for gay rights and against the death penalty. How the Supreme Court has dictated that illegal aliens have a constitutional right to attend public schools, and that other immigrants qualify for welfare benefits, tuition assistance, and even civil service jobs.

Eunan, likewise, was determined to face these same forces—not only for vengeance, but to rescue the woman he loved.What awaited them when they arrived? Would the remains of the MacSheehy welcome Seamus back with open arms? Can Eunan protect himself from his adversaries or would they win and take his life?

The Man in Black: An Historical Novel of the Days of Queen Anne
G. P. R. James
The events which led to the execution of Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second queen, in 1536 have traditionally been explained by historians in terms of a factional conspiracy masterminded by Henry's minister Thomas Cromwell. Retha Warnicke's fascinating and controversial reinterpretation focuses instead on the sexual intrigues and family politics pervading the court, offering a new explanation of Anne's fall. The picture which emerges - placing Anne's life in the context of social and religious values, and superstitions about witches and the birth of deformed children - changes our perception of her role within the court, and suggests that her execution (occurring only four months after a miscarriage) was the tragic consequence of Henry's profound concern about the continuation of the Tudor dynasty.

Excerpt from Ticonderoga; Or the Black Eagle, Vol. 2 of 3: A Tale of Times Not Long PastDay broke slowly and heavily under a grey cloud; and found Lord H - and the Indian chief still seated side by side at the entrance of the farm-house. A word or two had passed between them in the earlier part of the night; but, for many hours before dawn, they had remained perfectly silent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
