"American conservatism's most ferocious internecine controversy in years erupted when First Things, a journal of religion and public life, published a symposioum on "the judical usurpation of politics," boldly raising the question "whether we have reached or are reaching the point where conscientious citizens can no longer give moral assent to the existing regime." A far-flung debate ensued, engaging scores of contestants in countless journals and newspapers. Collected here is the original November 1996 symposioum "The End of Democracy? The Judicial Upurpation of Politics," in which Robert Bork, Russell HIttinger, Hadley Arkes, Charles Colson, Robert George, and the editors of First Things confront five decades of judicial decrees arrogating to the courts the final say on abortion, euthanasia, homosexuality, obsenity, and other fundamental questions of how we order our lives together. Responses from twenty eminent commentators follow, ranging from praise for the symposium's forthright engagement of distressing but urgent questions to condemnation of its reckless flirtation with rebellion. An extended review of the contours and implications of the controversy by Father Neuhaus rounds out the volume. The End of Democracy? places in the reader's hands everything he needs for a command of the salient constitutional debate of the decade. In addition, an exhaustive bibliography lists virtually every article published about or in response to the First Things symposium. Contributors: Hadley Arkes, William J. Bennett, Peter L.
