Though George W. Bush took office in January, the nation is still
recovering from the prolonged and complex process by which he was
elected. The Florida electoral controversy and the subsequent
decisions by both the Florida courts and the U.S. Supreme Court
left citizens and scholars alike divided over the role of the
judiciary in the electoral arena. Now, after a few months of
reflection, leading constitutional scholarsCass R. Sunstein,
Richard A. Epstein, Pamela S. Karlan, Richard A. Posner, and John
Yoo, among others--weigh in on the Supreme Court's actions, which
remain sensible, legally legitimate, and pragmatically defensible
to some and an egregious abuse of power to others. Representing the
full spectrum of views and arguments, "The Vote" offers the most
timely and considered guide to the ultimate consequences and
significance of the Supreme Court's decision.
The contributors to this volume were highly visible in the national
media while the controversy raged, and here they present fully
fleshed-out arguments for the positions they promoted on the
airwaves. Readers will find in "The Vote" equally impassioned
defenses for and indictments of the Court's actions, and they will
come to understand the practical and theoretical implications of
the Court's ruling in the realms of both law and politics. No doubt
a spate of books will appear on the 2000 presidential election, but
none will claim as distinguished a roster of contributors better
qualified to place these recent events in their appropriate
historical, legal, and political contexts.
