Equal parts Dark Money and Democracy in Chains, Antidemocratic is a riveting yet disturbing history of the fifty-year Republican plot to hijack voting rights in America, its profound implications for the 2024 presidential election, and the crucial role that Chief Justice John Roberts has played in determining how we vote.In 1981, a young lawyer, fresh out of Harvard law school, joined the Reagan administration's Department of Justice, taking up a cause that had been fomenting in Republican circles for over a decade by that point. From his perch inside the Reagan DOJ, this lawyer would attempt to bring down one of the defining pieces of 20th century legislation--the Voting Rights Act. His name was John Roberts.Over thirty years later in 2013, these efforts by John Roberts and the conservative legal establishment culminated when Roberts, now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, wrote Shelby County vs. Holder, one of the most consequential decisions of modern jurisprudence. A dramatic move that gutted the Voting Rights Act, Roberts's decision--dangerously premised on the flawed notion that racism was a thing of the past--emboldened right-wing, antidemocratic voting laws around the country immediately. No modern court decision has done more to hand elections to Republicans than Shelby.Now lauded investigative reporter David Daley reveals the urgent story of this fifty-year Republican plot to end the Voting Rights Act and encourage minority rule in their party's favor. From the bowels of Reagan's DOJ to the walls of the conservative Federalist Society to the moneyed Republican resources bankrolling restrictive voting laws today, Daley reveals a hidden history as sweeping as it is troubling. Through careful research and exhaustive reporting, he connects Shelby to a well-funded, highly-coordinated right-wing effort to erode the power of minority voters and Democrats at the ballot box--an effort that has grown stronger with each election cycle. In the process Roberts and his conservative allies have enabled fringe conservative theories about our elections with the potential to shape the 2024 election and topple the foundations of our democracy.Timely and alarming, Daley offers a powerful message that, while Shelby was the misguided end of the Voting Rights Act, it was also the beginning of something far darker.
Analyzing sex-offense laws and false claims, this book shows that laws based on vengeance rather than justice or evidence create new forms of harm while failing to address the real and pervasive problem of sexual violence.In this timely and extensively researched book, sociologist Emily Horowitz shows how current sex-offense policies in the United States create new forms of harm and prevent those who have caused harm from the process of constructive repentance or contributing to society after punishment. Horowitz also illustrates the failure of criminal justice responses to social problems. Sharing detailed narratives from the experiences of those on registries and their loved ones, Horowitz reveals the social impact and cycle of violence that results from dehumanizing and banishing those who have already been held accountable.From Rage to Reason offers a new perspective on how and why false claims about sex offenses became so pervasive and how these myths fostered ineffective policies that have little to do with the reality of most sexual abuse. It argues that to truly prevent sexual abuse, we must unearth the sources of these misunderstandings, debunk these claims in a systematic way, and have frank and genuine discussions about the limits of legal responses to complex social problems.

Drones, like any new technology, give rise to many challenges that require discussion and solutions. Their integration with the manned aviation system is one of the most important challenges for the future of aviation and requires the development of regulations regulating related issues to their use. As part of the monograph, the current safety regulations in civil aviation were analyzed in terms of assessing their application to drone opera-tions and analyzing of all those issues that should be taken into account when creating legal regulations for the use of drones. In addition, an in-depth analysis of issues such as the protection of the right to privacy, protection of property rights, liability for damage caused by drones, liability insurance was made.
Uddrag af forordet:Den 21. marts 2023 fyldte professor, dr.jur. Peter Pagh 70 år.Selv om han fortsætter i sit professorat på Københavns Universitet, er denne mærkedag en god anledning til at hylde denne enestående retsvidenskabsmand.Peter Paghs vej ind i den juridiske verden begyndte forholdsvis sent. Først i 1986, 33 år gammel, søgte han ind på jurastudiet, som han afsluttede i 1990. Efter et par år som advokatfuldmægtig blev han i 1992 stipendiat ved Det Juridiske Fakultet på Københavns Universitet, hvor han få år senere blev lektor.I 1998 forsvarede han doktordisputatsen Miljøansvar. Kort tid herefter tiltrådte han et nyoprettet professorat i miljøret. Parallelt med disputatsarbejdet havde han udgivet flere monografier, herunder Offentlige kontrakter og EF-retten (1992), Studier over amerikansk miljøret (1994) og EU-miljøret (2. udgave, 1996).Disse tidlige arbejder vidner om en helt enestående produktivitet og bredde, som fortsat er karakteristisk for Peter Paghs forfatterskab. Hovedparten heraf falder inden for miljøretten, men fordi dette fagområde har grænseflader til talrige andre juridiske discipliner, omfatter forfatterskabet også originale og væsentlige bidrag om EU-ret, menneskerettigheder, forvaltningsret, forfatningsret, procesret, ejendomsret og obligationsret.At Peter Pagh er en af sin tids mest produktive retsvidenskabelige forfattere, kan man blive forvisset om ved at slå op i bibliografien nedenfor s. 639 ff. Han har publiceret bredt i de mest anerkendte nationale og internationale juridiske tidsskrifter såvel som fagspecifikke miljøretlige tidsskrifter såsom Tidsskrift for Miljø. De mange værker er flittigt citeret – både i domsnoterne i Ugeskrift for Retsvæsen, i lovforarbejder og i anden juridisk litteratur.Festskriftet er udgivet med støtte fra Dreyers Fond.
