Merely Judgment: Ignoring, Evading, and Trumping the Supreme Court (Constitutionalism and Democracy)
Merely Judgmentprovides an interesting examination of how ‘unconstitutional’ legislation survives as public policy even after adverse Supreme Court rulings that would seem to mark the end to such policies. It provides a set of richly detailed case studies of the adoption and implementation of affirmative action programs in government contracting that provide a valuable perspective on important issues in judicial compliance, judicial review, and constitutional law.(Keith E.
