The Most Democratic Branch : How the Courts Serve America
ISBN: 9780195174434 / Angielski / Twarda / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Many critics attack federal judges as anti-democratic elitists, activists out of step with the mainstream of American thought. But others argue that judges should stand alone as the ultimate guardians of American values, placing principle before the views of the people.
In The Most Democratic Branch, Jeffrey Rosen disagrees with both assertions. Contrary to what interest groups may claim, he contends that, from the days of John Marshall right up to the present, the federal courts by and large have reflected the opinions of the mainstream. More important, he argues that the Supreme Court... Many critics attack federal judges as anti-democratic elitists, activists out of step with the mainstream of American thought.

ISBN: 9780195315837 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From Louis Brandeis to Robert Bork to Clarence Thomas, the nomination of federal judges has generated intense political conflict. With the coming retirement of one or more Supreme Court Justices--and threats to filibuster lower court judges--the selection process is likely to be, once again, the center of red-hot partisan debate.
In Advice and Consent, two leading legal scholars, Lee Epstein and Jeffrey A. Segal, offer a brief, illuminating Baedeker to this highly important procedure, discussing everything from constitutional background, to crucial differences in the nomination of judges...

Criticism and hostility may tarnish the reputation of the Court and limit its symbolic authority, even when counterbalanced by praise from admirers of challenged decisions and may cause thoughtful observers to withhold legitimate and badly needed criticism.

Gore, which decided the 2000 presidential race, was no fluke says Raskin (constitutional law, American U.).

Creating the Judicial Branch : The Unfinished Reform
ISBN: 9780595322770 / Angielski / Miękka / 298 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "One thing is clear. Courts came alive in the twentieth century and made changes that could not have been envisioned as late as World War II."
From Chapter 6 "Creating the Judicial Branch: The Unfinished Reform" describes and assesses a recent historical phenomenon, the creation of administratively and organizationally coherent judicial systems within state government. Before 1950, the state judicial branch of government existed mostly in concept, not in operational reality. After 1950, state judges, the organized bar, and many students of the judiciary took a hard look at the way state... "One thing is clear.

Corrupted by Power : The Supreme Court and the Constitution
ISBN: 9780595325009 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Alexander Hamilton called the judiciary the "least dangerous" branch of government. He was right then but wrong today. Since Hamilton's time the Supreme Court has become a cardinal example of Lord Acton's famous dictum: "Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely." It is not a corruption of bribes, or even of bad intentions, but of taking upon itself the right to alter the Constitution whenever past principles offend present preferences of five or more Justices.
"Corrupted by Power" shows how the Constitution is repeatedly changed to mean whatever the Supreme Court wants it... Alexander Hamilton called the judiciary the "least dangerous" branch of government. He was right then but wrong today. Since Hamilton's time the Supre...

The Supreme Court and American Political Development
ISBN: 9780700614387 / Angielski / Twarda / 494 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. This innovative volume explores the evolution of constitutional doctrine as elaborated by the Supreme Court. Moving beyond the traditional "law versus politics" perspective, the authors draw extensively on recent studies in American Political Development (APD) to present a much more complex and sophisticated view of the Court as both a legal and political entity. The contributors--including Pam Brandwein, Howard Gillman, Mark Graber, Ronald Kahn, Tom Keck, Ken Kersch, Wayne Moore, Carol Nackenoff, Julie Novkov, and Mark Tushnet--share an appreciation that the process of constitutional...

Witnessing Their Faith : Religious Influence on Supreme Court Justices and Their Opinions
ISBN: 9780742550643 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When it was ratified in 1791, the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States sought to protect against two distinct types of government actions that interfere with religious liberty: the establishment of a national religion and interference with individual rights to practice religion. Since that time, no question has so bedeviled the U.S. Supreme Court as finding the best way to interpret and apply the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. In this unique and timely book, Jay Sekulow examines not only the key cases and their historical context...

Confirmation Wars : Preserving Independent Courts in Angry Times
ISBN: 9780742551459 / Angielski / Miękka / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Confirmation Wars, Benjamin Wittes rejects the parodies offered by both the Right and Left of the decline of the process by which the United States Senate confirms_or rejects_the presidentOs nominees to the federal judiciary. He draws on original reporting and new historical research to provide a more accurate understanding of the current climate. He argues that the transformations the process has undergone should not be understood principally in partisan terms but as an institutional response on the part of the legislative branch to the growth of judicial power in the past five decades....

Gomery's Blinders and Canadian Federalism
ISBN: 9780776606415 / Angielski / Miękka / 137 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. In 2004, Paul Martin asked Justice John Gomery to lead a public inquiry into potential misspending in the federal Sponsorship Program, a relatively small investment of taxpayers' money to try to convince Quebeckers of the benefits of Canadian federalism in the aftermath of the 1995 referendum on Quebec separation. The Gomery inquiry chose to focus exclusively on the sordid details of the money laundering and paid no attention to the deeper causes and sources of the problem: the dysfunctions of an existing centralized governing apparatus that is tearing the fabric of the country apart...

Scoring Points : Politicians, Activists, and the Lower Federal Court Appointment Process
ISBN: 9780804749480 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book explores how the lower federal court appointment process became vastly politicized in the modern era. Scherer develops a theory of "elite mobilization," positing that lower court appointments have always been used by politicians for electoral purposes, but because of two historic changes to American institutions in the 1950s and 1960s--the breakdown of the old party system, and a federal judiciary reception to expanding individuals' constitutional rights--politicians shifted from an appointment system dominated by patronage to a system dominated by new policy-oriented appointment...

Strategic Behavior and Policy Choice on the U.S. Supreme Court
ISBN: 9780804751452 / Angielski / Twarda / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Despite several decades of research on Supreme Court decision-making by specialists in judicial politics, there is no good answer to a key question: if each justice's behavior on the Court were motivated solely by some kind of "liberal" or "conservative" ideology, what patterns should be expected in the Court's decision-making practices and in the Court's final decisions? It is only when these patterns are identified in advance that political scientists will be able to empirically evaluate theories which assert that the justices' behavior is motivated by the pursuit of their personal policy...
