Before Supreme Court nominees are allowed take their place on the
high Court, they must face a moment of democratic reckoning by
appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Despite the
potential this holds for public input into the direction of legal
change, the hearings are routinely derided as nothing but empty
rituals and political grandstanding. In this book, Paul M. Collins,
Jr., and Lori A. Ringhand present a contrarian view that uses both
empirical data and stories culled from more than seventy years of
transcripts to demonstrate that the hearings are a democratic forum
for the discussion and ratification of constitutional change. As
such, they are one of the ways in which We the People take
ownership of the Constitution by examining the core constitutional
values of those permitted to interpret it on our behalf."
