He now says that he was wrong, what the country got instead was a conservative tidal wave. He briefly describes this tidal wave and then turns his eye to the likely directions of a high court and subordinated federal courts still dominated by conservatives over the next 25 years as revealed by past court decisions as well as the wider writings of the conservative legal movement in general. His chapters examine how court decisions are likely to impact the powers of "the president against the people," "the states against the federal government," "the federal government against the people," and "state religion against the people."
