Men in Black: How the Supreme Court Is Destroying America Hardcover – February 7, 2005
Purchase options and add-ons
"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.

From the Inside Flap
Is that in the Constitution?
You re right: It s not. But these days the Constitution is no restraint on our out-of-control Supreme Court. The Court imperiously strikes down laws and imposes new ones purely on its own arbitrary whims. Even though liberals like John Kerry are repeatedly defeated at the polls, the majority on the allegedly "conservative" Supreme Court reflects their views and wields absolute power. There s a word for this: tyranny. In Men in Black, radio talk show host and legal scholar Mark R. Levin dissects the judicial tyranny that is robbing us of our freedoms and stuffing the ballot box in favor of liberal policies. If you ve ever wondered why no matter who holds political power American society always seems to drift to the left, Mark Levin has the answer: the black-robed justices of the Supreme Court, subverting democracy in favor of their own liberal agenda. In Men in Black, you ll learn:
· How judicial activism upheld slavery and segregation · Why Roe v. Wade not only mandated abortion-on-demand but gutted the Constitution · How the Court imports laws from other countries to help win the culture war for extremists · Why the justices are granting illegal immigrants rights equal with citizens · How helping terrorists file suit against the United States is another innovation of our Supreme Court · Surprise: the liberal Supreme Court Justice who erected the "separation of church and state" was a member of the Ku Klux Klan
Decades of judicial activism have made the Supreme Court the most potent threat to American freedom. Men in Black, as Rush Limbaugh notes in his introduction, "couldn t be more timely or important, as liberals continue shamelessly to thwart the people, Congress, the president, and state governments by using the courts to dictate national policy. Men in Black is a tremendously important and compelling book." It could very well be the most important book you read this year.

U.S. Supreme Court Justice John Roberts has done permanent damage to the Constitution in his opinion on the Obamacare case. So why are RINO's and others defending Roberts? These misguided people are engaging in a fantasy that Roberts had some sort of secret motive in making this horrendous decision, that he had a plan, a secret plan to help conservatives, and that there is therefore an upside to this mistake. This is absurd.
Various versions of this "plan" of Roberts' have him upholding Obamacare to rally the opposition, or get even with Obama by creating a tax debacle issue for future political use. Well, the tax issue was already there before Roberts' betrayal, and is not going away. This fantasizing by RINO's and other deluded Roberts' supporters is at best naive, and at worst, intellectually dishonest.
Defending Roberts' betrayal and the damage that he and his four left wing accomplices on the Court have done to the Constitution in his ruling in "National Federation of Independent Businessmen, et. al. vs. Sebelius", the infamous Obamacare decision, is exacerbating the damage that Roberts has already done to the Constitution, because it reveals a deep misunderstanding of Constitutional law, and the limited powers of the federal government on the part of the Roberts defenders. Roberts could have just as easily thrown the entire "Affordable health Care Act" out by saying it WASN'T a tax, and is simply an unconstitutional mandate, which is the plain and simple truth.
The transmutation by Roberts and his four left-wing accomplices on the Court of what is in fact an unconstitutional mandate, into a supposedly constitutional tax is astounding and shocking.
Instead of deciding the case based on the actual Constitution and the truth, Roberts has endorsed the modern liberal concept of a "living Constitution" and has opened the door to the passing of more such federal mandates by sending this message to congress and the president that they can do an end-run around the constitutional prohibition of mandates by simply lying and calling them taxes. By the way, the Obama Administration insisted that this was not a tax while they were forcing it through congress, then turned around and argued that it was a tax before the Supreme Court. Did Roberts really fall for this scam, or is there some other more sinister reason for this Chief Justice to turn his back on the Constitution?
The Supreme Court is supposed to interpret the Constitution, and Roberts has failed miserably here. He has joined the leftist activist justices in further eroding our liberty, and has helped to further the destruction of the Founding Fathers' concept of limited government, which is written into the Constitution, and which was duly ignored by Roberts and the majority.
Constitutional Scholar Mark Levin's excellent book on the topic on the excesses of the Supreme Court is a guide to all constitutional conservatives as to what the problem in the Court and in society is, and how we must address it to resore our liberty. The Obamacare decision demonstrates Levin's accuracy in the book regarding the continuing left movement of the Court, to the detriment of liberty.
The problem with this horrendous opinion by Roberts isn't the fact that it upheld Obamacare; I am confident that it will be repealed. The problem with this decision is that it fails to interpret the Constitution in its original meaning as a document designed to LIMIT government. By this failure, Roberts has permanently damaged the Constitution with his nonsense that Obamacare is a tax and not a mandate. The constitutional damage inflicted by Chief Justice Roberts unfortunately will long survive the Obamacare law, and will be much more difficult to remedy. Shame on John Roberts, and bravo Mark Levin!
In the words of former Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall: You do what you think is right and let the law catch up. Only, it's not the judiciary's role to make laws and that's why Mark Levin penned his masterpiece Men in Black: How the Supreme Court is Destroying America. The book came out in 2005 so, as always, I got to its pages a little late. Unfortunately, nothing is going to change in the immediate future so it remains pertinent. Some of you may know Mark Levin's name, but, honestly, before this year I never listened to his talk radio show. After a month I discovered he's the best host out of them all. He also excels at writing. Essentially, Men in Black mirrors his approach to verbal conservatism: it's insightful, concise, and ruthlessly on topic. There's not a wasted word here. What I found most attractive about its narrative is that he makes extensive use of primary source documents. He lets the justices, in their opinions, tell their own tale. The book is a compilation of history and cogent analysis. He discusses specifically several of the 100 justices who have been members of the Supreme Court, and their flaws were readily apparent. They were men, not gods.
Levin offers readers an outstanding discussion of the most important court cases in our nation's history. Many of them I had read about before but have long since forgotten. His discussion of religion in Chapter 3 and the establishment clause was thoroughly enlightening. Specifically, we see how cases like Everson v. Board of Education created the fallacious doctrine of there being a "wall of separation" between church and state. Justice Rehnquist's opinion in Wallace v. Jeffree illustrates the method by which this notion was created. "Justices in the Bedroom" in Chapter Five was a standout as well, but most topical was Chapter Ten, "Silencing Political Debate." To what extent does McCain-Feingold erode our liberties? Right now it's hard to say. I agree with the author that advertising is speech, and the recent letter Obama sent to the Justice Department concerning the William Ayers ad put out by a 527 organization is an example of how the left will take advantage of any loophole as a means to silence their critics. Overall, we are not as free as we used to be and Mark Levin's Men in Black illustrates why this is the case.
