Damon Root discusses his new book, Overruled: The Long War for Control of the U.S. Supreme Court, called a “must-read” by Senator Rand Paul and lauded by Randy Barnett, P.J. O’Rourke, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post, in which he asks the question: can the federal government make you eat your fruits and vegetables?

Does the Constitution empower the Supreme Court to actively protect individual rights from the whimsy and overreach of lawmakers? The debate over judicial restraint vs. judicial activism is at the heart of Overruled, which makes a bold case for libertarian judicial activism—the notion that the courts should swat away unwarranted and indefensible incursions on our rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
