Betrayed by the Bench

The vision and intent of America's Founding Fathers, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, have been betrayed. Judges-from the lowest courts in the land to those who sit on the bench of the Supreme Court-no longer uphold the standards of morality; decency, and freedom which came from the common law on which America grew great. To survive, America must return to her roots, and soon. Betrayed by the Bench examines the things courts have done which have people upset. To return America to its foundations, citizens must learn again how the Declaration of Independence makes the United States different from any other nation in history. The Declaration says that rights come not from a king, the government or a Constitution, but from God. The Declaration also says that a government was to be formed with the consent of the governed to make God-given rights secure. Betrayed by the Bench examines how two academic theories of the 19th Century (Hegel and Darwin) transformed legal education, the courts and the culture.
