Irreverent, provocative, and engaging, Desperately Seeking Certainty
attacks the current legal vogue for grand unified theories of
constitutional interpretation. On both the Right and the Left,
prominent legal scholars are attempting to build all of constitutional
law from a single foundational idea. Dan Farber and Suzanna Sherry
find that in the end no single, all-encompassing theory can
successfully guide judges or provide definitive or even sensible
answers to every constitutional question. Their book brilliantly
reveals how problematic foundationalism is and shows how the
pragmatic, multifaceted common law methods already used by the Court
provide a far better means of reaching sound decisions and controlling
judicial discretion than do any of the grand theories.
