Reviews
Provocative. -- Jeffrey Rosen New Republic (11/08/2004) Choice Outstanding Academic Title, 2006 Provocative. --Jeffrey Rosen New Republic (11/08/2004) A welcome and extremely timely book. . . . Because Professor Keck writes from a political science perspective, his book provides a broader dimension than others which have analyzed the Rehnquist Court in largely legalistic terms. Thus, he shows us how decisions of the Supreme Court are not easily separated from the broader trends of political and social change. . . . If one is looking to understand the relationship between constitutional decision-making and the political and social forces which may influence that process, especially in the immediate aftermath of the 2004 presidential election and with the looming prospect of vacancies on the Court, Professor Keck's book more than amply fills the bill. --William E.
