Overview

"Perhaps the dumbest opinion ever published by the United States Supreme Court [...] bears the infamous name Buck V. Bell. It held that the U.S. Constitution permitted the involuntary sterilization of allegedly 'feeble minded' men and women who would 'probably parent socially inadequate offspring,' in order to improve the the eugenics of the population at large." Privately printed for members, this brown leatherbound volume features gilt decoration on covers and spine, four bands on spine, gilt page edges, attached tan ribbon bookmark.
