商品簡介
Savage, a Supreme Court reporter for the Los Angeles Times, considers the relationship between the Supreme Court and the federal and state government. He explains the Court's role in defining the powers and limits of government, including federal jurisdiction, federal judicial power, and judicial restraint; interactions with Congress, the president, and the states; and the pressures Congress and the president can bring on the Court, such as appointment and confirmation powers, legislative reversals, and constitutional amendments. Key issues and major cases through the 2007-2008 term are discussed. Annotation c2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
