This analysis of the decision making of William H. Rehnquist from
the beginning of his tenure as an Associate Justice of the United
States Supreme Court in 1971 until he was nominated to be Chief
Justice in 1986 presents a refreshing new perspective on the Burger
Court's most conservative member. The common assessment of
Rehnquist's career on the Supreme Court is that he has tried to put
his own political agenda into effect--deciding as he wishes and
justifying it later. Davis disputes that view through careful,
insightful analysis of his opinions, his votes, and his public
speeches. She argues that Rehnquist does, indeed, have a judicial
philosophy--one that has legal positivism at its core. By examining
the interaction between the facets of that judicial philosophy and
Rehnquist's particular ordering of values, Davis reveals the
coherence of his decision making. The author finds that Rehnquist's
hierarchy of values gives paramount importance to state autonomy,
or the "new federalism." He sees the protection of private property
as secondary to the significance of federalism, followed, finally,
by the protection of individual rights. Originally published in
1989. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
