Description
In this authoritative reckoning with the eighteen-year record of the Rehnquist Court, Georgetown law professor Mark Tushnet reveals how the decisions of nine deeply divided justices have left the future of the Court—and the nation—hanging in the balance.
Many have assumed that the chasm on the Court has been between its liberals and its conservatives. In reality, the division was between those in tune with the modern post-Reagan Republican Party and those who, though considered to be in the Court's centre, represent an older Republican tradition.
As a result, the Court has modestly promoted the agenda of today's economic conservatives but has regularly defeated the agenda of social issues conservatives, while paving the way for a more radically conservative path in the future.
A Court Divided by Mark Tushnet offers a compelling examination of these dynamics.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Critical acclaim: "A balanced, insightful assessment of the dynamics of [the] Supreme Court ... In this calm, unbiased study, Tushnet explains clearly how and why the Supreme Court reflects the nation's uneasy political consensus."
