In this concise, timely book, constitutional law expert Stephen M.
Feldman draws on neoconservative writings to explore the rise of
the neocons and their influence on the Supreme Court. Neocons burst
onto the political scene in the early 1980s via their assault on
pluralist democracy's ethical relativism, where no pre-existing or
higher principles limit the agendas of interest groups. Instead,
they advocated for a resurrection of republican democracy, which
declares that virtuous citizens and officials pursue the common
good. Yet despite their original goals, neocons quickly became an
interest group themselves, competing successfully within the
pluralist democratic arena. When the political winds shifted in
2008, however, neocons found themselves shorn of power in Congress
and the executive branch. But portentously, they still controlled
the Supreme Court. Neoconservative Politics and the Supreme Court
explains how and why the neoconservatives criticized but operated
within pluralist democracy, and, most important, what the
entrenchment of neocons on the Supreme Court means for present and
future politics and law.
