Publisher Synopsis
"This book provides an excellent overview of landmark Supreme Court Cases, most of which impacted the court's power and direction."--Booklist "A collection of scholarly but accessible essays... The principal essays range in style from professorial disputation to impassioned moral advocacy... [This] volume thoughtfully explains the views of those who advocate more of the original Constitution, and less of the Supreme Court, in American political life."--Publishers Weekly "All essays provide interesting insight into the concepts of judicial review and judicial activism... [An] excellent book... I highly recommend it to all."--Ruth Ann Wary, Law and Politics Book Review Read more...
