2wonderY's review
Dershowitz attempts to find human rights divorced from our founding fathers' understanding of divinely given rights as referenced in the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights. He concludes that Rights evolves over time in response to injustice.
What he fails to consider is the source of mankind's conviction of Justice and Injustice. Maybe he addresses that in another book. I'll look and get back to it.
