Summary
This study reviews Pat Robertson's "Courting disaster: How the Supreme Court is usurping the power of Congress and the people." Pat Robertson is the founder and chairperson of the Christian Broadcasting Network, founder of Regent University, and The Center for Law and Justice. He and his wife have four children and thirteen grandchildren. They reside in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Using both legal and religious points of view, Robertson attempts to prove that the current operation of the judicial system is dangerous to both the republican form of government and our individual freedoms.

From this study, it is evident that Robertson undertook a political expedition seeking to identify various issues that bedeviled the American society.
