Bad law : ten popular laws that are ruining America

Elie Mystal (Author)
This book reimagines what our legal system, and society at large, could look like if we could move past legislation plagued by racism, misogyny, and corruption. Author Elie Mystal argues that these egregiously awful laws--his "Bill of Wrongs"--continue to cause systematic and individual harm and should be repealed completely. On topics ranging from abortion and immigration to voting rights and religious freedom, we have chosen rules to live by that do not reflect the will of most of the people. But these laws do not come to us from on high; we write them, and, he says, we can and should unwrite them. --Adapted from publisher's website
