Description

Herman Schwartz (ed). For nearly all his tenure as chief justice of the Supreme Court, William Rehnquist has enjoyed the support of a slim but usually solid majority of his fellow justices. With it he has been able to effect a dramatic shift to the right in many vital areas of constitutional law. Rehnquist & his allies have undermined civil rights & weakened the fed. gov’ts ability to respond to pressing social needs. Here, 16 distinguished legal scholars evaluate the court’s record on the many controversial issues that have come before it. Includes: Tom Wicker on Rehnquist’s legacy, Stephen Bright on capital punishment, Charles Ogletree, Jr., on criminal procedure, Norman Redlich on religion, David Vladeck & Alan Morrison on regulation, & John MacKenzie on “Bush v. Gore.”
