商品簡介
Library of Congress insider Fisher approaches core questions about the Supreme Court's interpretations of the Constitution. Writing in accessible terms, he analyzes several Supreme Court decisions that were later struck down or reversed by the Court itself or by pressure from Congress, demonstrating that Constitutional interpretations are and should remain the shared responsibility of the Supreme Court, Congress, and the states. He outlines the process of judicial reviews, explains how the Court decides matters, and surveys judicial failings after WWII. One chapter is devoted to individual and minority rights. The book's readership includes students in law and political science, as well as general readers with minimal background. Fisher is formerly affiliated with the Congressional Research Service and the Congressional Law Library. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
