The U.S. Supreme Court is not a unitary actor and it does not
function in a vacuum. It is part of an integrated political system
in which its decisions and doctrine must be viewed in a broader
context. In some areas, the Court is the lead policy maker. In
other areas, the Court fills in the gaps of policy created in the
legislative and executive branches. In either instance, the Supreme
Court's work is influenced by and in turn influences all three
branches of the federal government as well as the interests and
opinions of the American people. Pacelle analyzes the Court's
interaction in the separation of powers system, detailing its
relationship to the presidency, Congress, the bureaucracy, public
opinion, interest groups, and the vast system of lower courts. The
niche the Court occupies and the role it plays in American
government reflect aspects of both the legal and political models.
The Court has legal duties and obligations as well as some freedom
to exercise its collective political will. Too often those studying
the Court have examined it in isolation, but this book urges
scholars and students alike to think more broadly and situate the
highest court as the "balance wheel" in the American system.
