More Description Can the government seize your house to build a shopping mall? Can it determine what control you have over your own body? Can police search your cellphone? The answers to those questions come from the Supreme Court, whose rulings have shaped American life and justice and allowed Americans to retain basic freedoms such as privacy, free speech, and the right to a fair trial. Especially relevant in light of Justice Antonin Scalia's death, and as we elect a new president who may get to appoint other justices, the revised edition of Michael G. Trachtman's page-turner includes ten important new cases from 2010 to 2015, from same-sex marriage to the Affordable Care Act.
