Full E-book Texas Supreme Court Justice Bob Gammage: A Jurisprudence of Rights and Liberties

https://lkmnsorgedhang.blogspot.co.uk/?book=1498578586
John Domino examines Texas Supreme Court Justice Bob Gammage's progressive jurisprudence during one of the most tumultuous periods in Texas judicial history which witnessed numerous seismic shifts, including the manner in which judicial campaigns were conducted, a dramatic change in the partisan and ideological composition of the Texas Supreme Court, as well as Court of Criminal Appeals and most of the fourteen intermediate appellate courts, and the birth of the judicial reform movement in Texas. Gammage, who served as a court of appeals judge as well as state supreme court justice, forged a solid liberal record arguing for robust individual rights, including the right to privacy, freedom of expression, due process, and equal protection, whether those rights were implied in the Texas constitution, rooted in an evolving common law, or set out in state and federal judicial precedent. Gammage was also a fierce advocate for the integrity and independence of the Texas judiciary in the face of political pressure from powerful interests.
