Description: "This study challenges American dogma about the court being the ultimate arbiter of constitutional issues, showing it instead supporting policy decisions being left to the people's elected representatives. It offers a combination of remedies--including term limits and popular selection of the Supreme Court--to return the people to their proper place in the constitutional order"--Provided by publisher.
