The United States Supreme Court can be a perplexing institution.
Yet as the third co-equal branch of national government, its
contribution to American politics needs to be appreciated as much
as those of Congress and the presidency. This lucidly-written text
is aimed at students and teachers of American politics who have
little or no previous knowledge of the Court. McKeever explains the
legal and judicial frameworks within which the Supreme Court works
and emphasises the political forces which surround and influence
it. He examines the ways in which the presidency, Congress and
interest groups bring pressure upon the judicial decision-making
process and the extent to which the Justices are able to rise above
the political fray. This includes a chapter devoted to the 'new'
politics of Supreme Court appointments, and an analysis the Court's
contemporary agenda, including issues such as abortion, affirmative
action and gay rights. Finally, McKeever discusses the roles played
by the Supreme Court in American politics and government and the
extent to which these vary in rhythm with the broader political
system. -- .
