Eric is a FIGHTER, who beat back Biden’s disastrous Policies as A.G. and, in the U.S. Senate, has been working hard to defend our America First Agenda from the Radical Left. Get your copy today!\" — President Donald Trump One of the Senate's leading conservatives reveals the key approaches needed for the Right to triumph over liberal lawyers and out-of-control judges. When Joe Biden took office, Eric Schmitt had been attorney general for just over two years and had been focused on tackling violent crime. As soon as he began to see the outrageous excesses of the Biden Administration, he and his team snapped into action, waging war on the Biden regimes' stunning attempts at government overreach, winning some of the most important fights in modern American history, helping set the stage for a return to commonsense in government. Now, in The Last Line of Defense, Senator Schmitt takes readers behind the scenes of those battles for the first time, talks about the lessons learned, and how conservatives can keep winning in court and beyond. He takes you inside some of his biggest wins against: · Mask mandates and vaccine mandates · Student debt forgiveness · Restrictions on Second Amendment rights · Soros-backed prosecutors · Woke ideology in our schools · Open borders · Attacks on free speech · The weaponization of government agencies With President Trump back in office and the Left fighting him at every turn, it's more important than ever to remember just how close we came to losing it all — and why we need to keep playing to win.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9780063437180","publication_date":"20250819","publisher":"HarperCollins","slug":"the-last-line-of-defense","subtitle":"How to Beat the Left in Court","title":"The Last Line of Defense"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"POL040030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Courts & the Judiciary","score":0.7617,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL042020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Conservatism & Liberalism","score":0.7396,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL040010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"The Presidency & Executive","score":0.716,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"POL040030","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Courts & the Judiciary","score":0.7617,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL042020","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Conservatism & Liberalism","score":0.7396,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"POL040010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"The Presidency & Executive","score":0.716,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"BIO010000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Political Lives","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"LAW018000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Constitutional Law","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"LAW044000","confidence_band":"high","label":"General Practice Law","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL004000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Civil Rights","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL015000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Political Parties","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL028000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Public Policy","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL040030","confidence_band":"high","label":"Courts & the Judiciary","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"POL042020","confidence_band":"high","label":"Conservatism & Liberalism","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Courts & the Judiciary","score":0.7617,"slug":"courts-the-judiciary"},{"label":"Conservatism & Liberalism","score":0.7396,"slug":"conservatism-liberalism"},{"label":"The Presidency & Executive","score":0.716,"slug":"the-presidency-executive"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers interested in conservative legal strategy and court battles","Good for readers interested in political fights over federal policy"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Stephen Vladeck"],"book_id":"9781541605183","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781541605183.jpg?v=c4ca0049e12f5e3e","score":0.6934,"title":"The Shadow Docket","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781541605183"},{"authors":["Leah Litman"],"book_id":"9781668054642","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781668054642.jpg?v=3194fb5b728bdbb0","score":0.6854,"title":"Lawless","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781668054642"},{"authors":["David A.
