Dueholm argues that due to several misapplied precedents, the judicial interpretation of the Constitution has changed dramatically since its inception. Congress' rights to regulate interstate commerce, enforce due process of law and protect the religious establishment are now abused to take away the states' individual decisions on abortion, the death penalty and environmental issues.

"Say What?" is a well-researched book, as Dueholm provides a detailed history of the Founding Fathers and justices who are responsible for each Constitutional misinterpretation. Each of the offending precedents is described in detail, their motives and circumstances broken down into a readable format. He makes several interesting observations as well, such as pointing out how a 1942 case about wheat sales was used to extend the reach of the Civil Rights Act, and is used now to justify enforcement of the Endangered Species Act.

However, readers should not expect this book to be an impartial look at the Constitution. There are several occurrences of Dueholm using the word "liberal" in a very hostile tone, and his arguments are supportive of several traditionally conservative viewpoints: opposed to abortion, in favor of the death penalty and claiming George W. Bush was the legitimate winner of the 2000 election. I don't judge books based on belief, but when arguments are paired with claims that liberals have an agenda to "lay waste to the Constitution" the research loses objectivity.
