Title: The Supreme Court and the American elite, 1789-2008
Description: "'The Supreme Court follows the election returns, ' the fictional Mr. Dooley observed a hundred years ago. And for all our ideals and dreams of a disinterested judiciary, above the political fray, it seems Mr. Dooley was right. In this engaging--and disturbing--book, a leading historian of the Court reveals the close fit between its decisions and the nation's politics."--Jacket.
