[edit] Disrobed

His non-fiction book, [1] Disrobed argues that "who wins in the courts often depends more on politics and ideology than on the rule of law" [1] and recommends that conservatives start using "liberal" tactics such as judicial activism, rather than remaining with the more typical conservative philosophy of the appropriate role of the courts with respect to the Judicial interpretation of the U.S. Constitution, treaties, or U.S. law (called Judicial restraint, Strict construction, or Originalism).

Its publisher, Random House, says:

Smith reminds us that courts, judges, and lawyers need not be enemies of the Right, and can even serve as valuable allies in the war against liberalism. But as his groundbreaking book shows, conservatives must force this change by taking swift action. [2]
