What Is A Postmodern Constitutionalism?, J. M. Balkin
What Is A Postmodern Constitutionalism?, J. M. Balkin
Michigan Law Review
I begin with a puzzle. It must certainly strike one as odd that the subject of postmodern constitutional law arises at a time when the actual arbiters of the Constitution - the federal judiciary and in particular the Supreme Court of the United States - appear to be more conservative than they have been for many years, and indeed, are likely to remain so for the foreseeable future.
