Publisher Synopsis
"A major contribution to the field of election law."-Thomas E. Mann,The Brookings Institution "Hasen provides a citizen's guide to the Court's decisions and offers an innovative proposal, contrary to many lawyers' predispositions, saying why (and when) the Court should intervene but give little guidance to the people devising the laws that regulate our elections. This is a provocative analysis that deserves thorough consideration."-Mark Tushnet,Georgetown University Law Center "Hasen masterfully distills complex legal doctrines and sophisticated political theory into a succinct analysis filled with practical wisdom. Challenging the prevailing view of Bush v. Gore as an aberration, he shows that it is simply another patch in the crazy-quilt constitutional law of elections. Anyone who cares about American democracy should read this original, important, and thought-provoking book."-Robert J. Pushaw,Pepperdine University School of Law "A pioneering study of the Court's increasing efforts to regulate the US political system. Hasen addresses both issues of legal doctrine and political science in his sweeping look at the Court's positions on such issues as the status of political parties, voting rights, redistricting, balloting procedures, and campaign finance reform."-Bruce Cain,University of California, Berkeley "Hasen engagingly draws on internal Court deliberations, as well as political science and legal theory, to assess and criticize dramatic transformations in the role of constitutional law in overseeing the structure of democracy. The Supreme Court and Election Law will interest all those concerned with understanding the relationship between constitutional law and democracy in struggles over how contested ideals of political equality should inform the design of democratic institutions.""-Richard H. Pildes,NYU School of Law Read more...
