Book Description

ATTENTION, CONSERVATIVES

Forget everything you think you know about the courts—and arm yourselves
with this brand-new, urgently needed battle plan to defeat the Left’s
legal assault on America.

How to Bring the Reagan Revolution to America's Courts . . . FINALLY

With the Harriet Miers fiasco a distant memory and John Roberts and Samuel
Alito sitting on the Supreme Court, conservatives can finally stop
worrying about the courts, right?

Wrong. Dead wrong.

America’s courts, legal culture, and law schools remain solidly in the
Left’s camp. Decades of liberal legal precedents fill volumes of law
tomes. Absent a sweeping change—precisely what bestselling author Mark W.
Smith calls for in Disrobed—liberals will ruthlessly exploit their
dominant position in the law to continue advancing their radical agenda,
as they have for the past seventy years.

Smith, a nationally recognized attorney, lays out an aggressive new battle
plan to thwart the liberal assault on America by turning the courts into
allies of the conservative movement. Be warned, Disrobed is not for the
fainthearted. Smith implores conservatives: Toss out practically
everything you think you know about courts, judges, and American
law—because it’s naive, anachronistic, and self-defeating.

Fearlessly challenging the conventional conservative wisdom, Disrobed
reveals:

• Why conservatives must immediately embrace—not decry—judicial activism

• A bold new model for finding strong conservative judges—behold the
“Judicial Reagan”

• Why litmus tests, so often vilified, represent the only way to pick
reliable conservative judges

• How to get sitting judges to “evolve” (finally!) to the right

• How the Right can sue more to advance the conservative agenda—on guns,
taxes, immigration, the right to life, you name it

• How conservatives can turn liberals’ favorite court rulings against them

• The hard truth that who wins in the courts often depends more on
politics and ideology than on the rule of law

Smith reminds us that courts, judges, and lawyers need not be enemies of
the Right, and can even serve as valuable allies in the war against
liberalism. But as his groundbreaking book shows, conservatives must force
this change by taking swift action. Disrobed issues a call to arms to all
conservatives, revealing that the courts are far too important to be left
to the devices of academics, lawyers, and politicians.

“Conservatives,” Smith writes, “must accept—and adapt our strategies
to—the reality of the modern law, even when the truth is uncomfortable.
Otherwise the conservative political agenda and the American way of life
will keep getting destroyed—legal case by legal case—in the courts.”
