As a resource on legal doctrine it is a fine. As a textbook it is dreadful.

The author drips the textbook in her political opinions, sneaks in moral language and cites sources that conform to her beliefs. This is in no way an objective text on Constitutional and Administrative Law, but so long as you can cut through the authors neo-religious dogma regarding those pesky white middle class people it's satisfactory. The author is clearly more of an activisty than a practitioner of law.

Otherwise, would recommend another textbook like Constitutional and Administrative Law by A. Braldy, et el.
