Title: No litmus test
Description: "Backed by academic critics who have been arguing against the possibility of objectivity for roughly a century, many critics on the left have essentially given up: Law, they contend, is simply politics in disguise. By analyzing the most pressing controversies of our day, Columbia University law professor Michael C. Dorf defends the possibility of principled legal decision making against the attacks of both the right and the left. From Bush V. Gore to the war in Iraq, No Litmus Test demonstrates that even when the law provides no clear-cut answers, it offers tools for distinguishing good arguments from bad ones."--Jacket.
