Confronted by forces of change, the Supreme Court appeared the bastion of conservatism in case after case, as they defended the old order. Progressive reformers of the time and historians of the 20th century have depicted the era's nine justices as aging reactionaries. Now, in 'Guardians of the Moral Order', Mark Bailey rises to their defence.
