Maltese, John Anthony. - The selling of Supreme Court nominees.

Baltimore : The Johns Hopkins University Press, c1995. Hardcover. Dustjacket. xiii,193 pp. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new. - Politics has always been at the heart of the Supreme Court selection process. According to John Anthony Maltese, the first Borking of a nominee came in 1795 with the defeat of John Rutledge's nomination as chief justice. What is different about today's appointment process, he argues, is not its politicization but the range of players involved and the political techniques that they use. In The Selling of Supreme Court Nominees, Maltese traces the evolution of the contentious and controversial confirmation process awaiting today's nominees to the nation's highest court. In this paperback edition, he includes a discussion of the recent nomination of Stephen Breyer, addressing various reform proposals made by critics of the current process and crediting President Clinton's protracted selection process with restoring some decorum to the proceedings.
