Supreme Court Survivor

Anupam Chander (Law, UC Davis) has developed an on-line game (modelled, of course, on one of the popular “unreality reality TV” genres) called “Supreme Court Survivor” here.

The possible toll on our civil liberties [and other Constitutional rights] is then made painfully clear.”
