In this book, Frederick P. Lewis examines the legacy of the Warren Court, analyzing why the court’s activism survived largely intact despite the efforts of four Republican presidents over a 20-year period to replace activist federal judges with jurists committed to judicial restraint.

But Allen has uncovered evidence that the vigilantes refused to disband a
