A Court Divided: The Rehnquist Court and the Future of Constitutional Law

Mehr zum Buch

The book offers a critical analysis of the Rehnquist Court's eighteen-year tenure, highlighting the internal divisions among justices that transcend traditional liberal-conservative lines. It emphasizes a rift between justices aligned with the modern Republican Party and those adhering to an older Republican tradition. This schism has led to a mixed legacy, where the Court has supported economic conservatism while often undermining social conservatism, setting the stage for a more radical conservative direction in the future.
