|a "For some, to oppose the Constitution is to oppose the American experiment itself. But leading constitutional scholar Louis Michael Seidman argues that our founding document has long passed its "sell-by" date. From Parchment to Dust is Seidman's fascinating (and yes, mind-boggling) argument that we don't need the written Constitution at all. As Seidman shows, constitutional skepticism and disobedience have been present from the beginning of American history, even worming their way into the Federalist Papers. And, as Seidman also points out, no people alive today had any role in the promulgation of our constitutional rules. In this short, sharp, and iconoclastic book, Seidman defends not only constitutional skepticism, but also the skeptic's constitution - a constitution grounded in inclusiveness, tolerance, and restraint, rather than in ancient and arcane text. He offers a brief history of the phenomenon of constitutional skepticism and then proceeds to a masterful takedown of our most cherished, constitutionally enshrined institutions and beliefs, from the Supreme Court ("an arrogant elite in robes") to the very concepts of civil rights, due process, and equal protection - all of which, he argues, are just pretenses for preserving a fundamentally rigged and inequitable status quo. Rather than rely on the specific wording of a flawed and outdated document, rufe with "Madison's mistakes," Seidman proposes instead a new, not-yet-written version that better reflects our shared values and leaves it to people currently alive to determine how these values will play out in contemporary society."--
