Aaron Tang is professor at the University of California, Davis, School of Law and a former law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. His writings have appeared in the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, and Slate.
“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, 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, 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, author of
Originalism as Faith
