Praise for Supreme Hubris
“Tang masterfully shows how overconfidence bias among U.S. Supreme Court justices has imperiled this once hallowed institution. A must read on where the Court went wrong, and how to fix it.”
— Franita Tolson, Dean of USC Law School & author of In Congress We Trust?: Enforcing Voting Rights from the Founding to the Jim Crow Era
“Tang’s important book explains that the Supreme Court’s errors often stem from its overconfidence. He offers an innovative solution: justices should pursue the outcome that is likely to cause the least harm.”
— ERWIN CHEMERINSKY, DEAN OF BERKELEY LAW SCHOOL & AUTHOR OF WORSE THAN NOTHING: THE DANGEROUS FALLACY OF ORIGINALISM
“Aaron Tang has accomplished something extraordinary. He has written a smart and original book about how the Supreme Court should do its job. It is almost impossible to say something truly new about constitutional law that makes a contribution. Tang has done that with his least harm principle.”
— ERIC SEGALL, ASHE PROFESSOR OF LAW AT GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF LAW & AUTHOR OF ORIGINALISM AS FAITH
