A polemic against the provision of the US tax code that prohibits political speech on the part of nonprofitsand, specifically, in this case, churchesarguing that it is an unconstitutional infringement of speech that has been deliberately used to suppress the views and power of religious activists.

Trade Review
"While there are many books about the role of religion and politics and a large literature on the constitutional implications of tax exemptions and the regulation of nonprofits, none bring these topics together like Hamburger's sophisticated, original, and compelling arguments. Hamburger persuasively argues that this seemingly modest provision in the tax code actually has important implications for constitutional law, religious freedom, and the development of American liberalism."--Ilya Somin, author of The Grasping Hand: "Kelo v. City of New London" and the Limits of Eminent Domain "Liberal Suppression develops and argues vehemently for a point of view underrepresented in recent literature on the tax topics that it addresses. It will enliven and (in a good way) unsettle those debates."--Daniel N. Shaviro, New York University
