The thesis is maintained with some wordiness, but in the semantic jungle in which we have all been scrabbling for certainty since 1933 maybe a lot of words are inevitable. The essential point is that Mr. Garber sustains his case. Historically, the Supreme Court s usurpations divide themselves into two well-demarcated periods. In the nineteen thirties, when the New Deal was riding high, the Court laid down a number of tor¬tured economic decisions. In the nineteen fifties and sixties, the questionable majority rulings were sociological in nature. Taken to¬gether, the two sets of rulings have virtually nullified the Ninth and Tenth Amendments to the Constitution. Amendment Nine, it may be dimly remembered, reads: "The enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." Amendment Ten reads: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respec¬tively, or to the people.
