The American Constitution and Ayn Rand's "Inner Contradiction"
For over two decades (1972–1993), Holzer was a full-time tenured professor of law at Brooklyn Law School, where he is now professor emeritus.  Professor Holzer is the author of approximately three hundred articles, essays, and reviews. He frequently publishes commentary on current legal and political issues in print and electronic media.  Several of Professor Holzer’s out-of-print books—The Gold Clause: Government’s Money Monopoly; Sweet Land of Liberty? The Supreme Court and Individual Rights; The Layman’s Guide to Tax Evasion; Speaking Freely: The Case Against Speech Codes; and Why Not Call It Treason? Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Today—are available from various Internet booksellers, including Amazon.  With his wife, lawyer and novelist Erika Holzer, Professor Holzer is co-author of Aid and Comfort: Jane Fonda in North Vietnam, a book that definitively answers the question of whether Fonda’s trip to Hanoi during the Vietnam War, and her activities there, constituted constitutional treason. With Erika Holzer, Professor Holzer also co-authored Fake Warriors: Identifying, Exposing, and Punishing Those Who Falsify Their Military Service. These two books are also available at Amazon  Professor Holzer’s judicial biography, The Supreme Court Opinions of Justice Clarence Thomas, 1991–2006: A Conservative’s Perspective, was published in January 2007 by McFarland & Company, a noted publisher of scholarly, reference, and academic books. The second edition, covering the years 1991–2011, was published by McFarland in 2012. Ayn Rand is best known for her four novels: We the Living, Anthem, The Fountainhead, and her magnum opus, Atlas Shrugged. Her brilliant nonfiction, however, contains essays ranging across a broad spectrum of thought, among them ethics and political philosophy. From the perspective of constitutional lawyer, Holzer says, “no American political philosopher has written more illuminating essays than Rand’s Man’s Rights, Collectivized Rights, and The Nature of Government.  Ayn Rand was a friend and client of the Holzers, Apart from conducting legal business, much of their time together was spent discussing political philosophy in general, and constitutional law in particular. Ayn Rand’s influence on Holzer’s thinking is evident in this book.
