6-3 and 5-4: Betrayal from Within, by Barry Robbins (2025)
This book explores narrow U.S. Supreme Court decisions, like 6-3 or 5-4 splits, hence the title. The author takes the position that such narrow decisions are acts of internal betrayal. He argues that these decisions transform legal doctrine into personal, emotional narratives as these rulings hollow out constitutional rights and impact everyday lives, and have profound human consequences. The book is broken down into Individual Rights, Voting Rights, Regulatory Matters, Second Amendment, Civil Rights, Labor Rights and concludes with Executive Powers. The analysis is written in a unique manner, from the perspective of the rights or issue in first person.
