作者:Stephen Breyer
出版日期:2024-03-26
英文简介:
A provocative, brilliant analysis by recently retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer that deconstructs the textualist philosophy of the current Supreme Court’s supermajority and makes the case for a better way to interpret the Constitution.
“You will not read a more important legal work this election year.
” –Bob Woodward, Washington Post reporter and author of fifteen #1 New York Times bestselling books “A dissent for the ages.
” –The Washington Post “Breyer’s candor about the state of the court is refreshing and much needed.
” –The Boston Globe The relatively new judicial philosophy of textualism dominates the Supreme Court.
Textualists claim that the right way to interpret the Constitution and statutes is to read the text carefully and examine the language as it was understood at the time the documents were written.
This, however, is not Justice Breyer’s philosophy nor has it been the traditional way to interpret the Constitution since the time of Chief Justice John Marshall.
Justice Breyer recalls Marshall’s exhortation that the Constitution must be a workable set of principles to be interpreted by subsequent generations.
Most important in interpreting law, says Breyer, is to understand the purposes of statutes as well as the consequences of deciding a case one way or another.
He illustrates these principles by examining some of the most important cases in the nation’s history, among them the Dobbs and Bruen decisions from 2022 that he argues were wrongly decided and have led to harmful results.
中文简介:
最近退休的最高法院法官史蒂芬·布雷耶 (Stephen Breyer) 进行了具有挑衅性的精彩分析,解构了当前最高法院绝对多数的文本主义哲学,并提出了更好的方式来解释宪法的理由。
“今年选举年你不会读到更重要的法律著作了。
” ——鲍勃·伍德沃德,《华盛顿邮报》记者,出版了十五本《纽约时报》排名第一的畅销书《时代的异见》。
——《华盛顿邮报》 “布雷耶对法院现状的坦率令人耳目一新,也是非常必要的。
” ——《波士顿环球报》 相对较新的文本主义司法哲学主导着最高法院。
文本主义者声称,解释宪法和法规的正确方法是仔细阅读文本并检查文件撰写时所理解的语言。
然而,这不是布雷耶大法官的哲学,也不是自首席大法官约翰·马歇尔以来解释宪法的传统方式。
布雷耶法官回顾了马歇尔的劝告,即宪法必须是一套可供后代解释的可行原则。
布雷耶说,解释法律最重要的是理解法规的目的以及以某种方式判决案件的后果。
他通过考察美国历史上一些最重要的案例来阐述这些原则,其中包括 2022 年的多布斯和布鲁恩判决,他认为这些判决是错误的,并导致了有害的结果。
