Acerca de esta escucha

America has always been a nation of laws. But today our laws have grown so vast and reach so deeply into our lives that it’s worth asking: In our reverence for law, have we gone too far?

Over just the last few decades, laws in this nation have exploded in number; they are increasingly complex; and the punishments they carry are increasingly severe. Some of these laws come from our elected representatives, but many now come from agency officials largely insulated from democratic accountability.

In Over Ruled, Neil Gorsuch and Janie Nitze explore these developments and the human toll so much law can carry for ordinary Americans. At its heart, this is a book of stories—about fishermen in Florida, families in Montana, monks in Louisiana, a young Internet entrepreneur in Massachusetts, and many others who have found themselves trapped unex­pectedly in a legal maze.

Some law is essential to our lives and our freedoms. But too much law can place those very same freedoms at risk and even undermine respect for law itself. And often those who feel the cost most acutely are those without wealth, power, and status.

Deeply researched and superbly written, Over Ruled is one of the most significant books of the year. It is a must-listen for every citizen concerned about the erosion of our constitutional system, and its insights will be key to the preservation of our liberties for generations to come.

Thought provoking read!

Enjoyed this analysis of the law (and regulations) through stories of the people affected by those laws and regulations. Told in an easy-to-read format.

More than just case studies

I’m impressed with the showing of the gradual encroachment of a huge federal government and sometimes state government bureaucracy. The case studies were beautifully entwined with commentary by the authors or the authors quoting other people. This was a much better book than others that only have case study with not as much context. Very interesting that under JFK there was a legal genius who gave us a guide to helping with the senseless federal bureaucracy. So many people were grievously harmed by government enforcement of senseless rules.

The cases and unnecessary money that were spent on unfair charges and that no punishment was ever given for wrongful charges.

Very thought provoking and informative! The author did a wonderful job conveying the way the system currently works and the foundations it was formed on.

The growth of the administrative state, regulatory capture, and legal proceedings with no jury

Justice Gorsuch and Janie Nitze have put together some thought-provoking stories on the growth of the administrative state (and the penalties associated with it), regulatory capture, and the fleeting concepts of mens rea and lenity. Highly recommend!

Government out of control

I know the federal government is intruding on our lives. We are losing choice on more things everyday. Light bulbs, shower heads, washing machines, cars, refrigerators, dishwashers, gas cans… the list is endless.
However, the stories in this are so scary that one has to wonder, how close are we to total tyranny brought on by “experts”. Covid demonstrated how fear and trusting experts can rob us of everything.
The Constitution with all its warts is still better than any alternative. It deserves our protection.

Our government is completely out of control and it preys on the weak. horrible what it’s come to.

I appreciated the true stories of the unfortunate innocent people that get caught in the crosshairs of our federal government.

The stories of peoples lives tossed upside down by ever changing rules, guideline’s, regulations and other governing docs.

It is amazing how Justice Gorsuch and Mrs Nitze compiled over 1,000 sources into 185 pages. I purchased the study guide which will help me to dig a little deeper.

A book every American should read

Justice Gorsuch & his co-author Janie Nitze have done the nation a great service by detailing the harm & dangers of the federal & state administrative over regulation. We have the greatest constitution ever devised by human minds but the utopians who believe in the perfectibility of man through expertism, like Woodrow Wilson, would over throw it in favor of the administrative state in order to achieve their ideal society. However, as we saw during the COVID 19 panic, experts are prone to error and bias just are all human beings. The authors call us back to a system of limited government, that pushes decisions closer to the people and holds those making decisions accountable to the governed. Our constitution isn’t outdated, it is not followed. Let’s hope Americans will see that the greatest threat to our liberty is not outside forces, but an ever expanding federal government that has developed an unelected & unaccountable 4th branch of government that devours the product of our labors and our liberty. Hopefully this book will help to wake Americans to that danger.

Great true stories

Rather than go into minutia about complex laws and regulations Justice Grsich makes it very enjoyable in stories that have affected everyday people that have been swallowed up by the system. Gives a lot of food for thought and where we are headed.
