The book explores the decline of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, attributing it to the Supreme Court's embrace of judicial rationalism and multicultural politics. It contends that these judicial decisions have undermined the VRA's original intentions and eroded the Founders' vision of republicanism by promoting divisive political identities rooted in illiberal views of race and ethnicity. The analysis critiques how these shifts have distorted the foundational principles of American democracy.
