Our Lost Constitution: The Willful Subversion of America’s Founding Document, by Senator Mike Lee, New York, New York: Sentinel/Penguin Publishing, 2016, 244 pages, paperback.
Mike Lee listened attentively to his father, then solicitor general of the United States under President Ronald Reagan, as he explained America’s “long-standing abortion debate.” When his father concluded the explanation, Mike had one question: “Shouldn’t this issue be addressed by the states rather than by the federal courts?”
