Description: New York : Hill & Wang, 2002. Hardcover. Dustjacket. x,276 pp. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new. - Herman Schwartz has assembled sixteen contributions by legal academics, lawyers, and journalists that critically review the record of the conservative Supreme Court headed by Chief Justice William Rehnquist on a variety of issues. Leading off the collection is a criticism of the decision that stopped the vote counting in Florida in order to install George W. Bush in the White House. Subsequent contributions look at such issues as racial equality, criminal procedure, capital punishment, gay rights, First Amendment issues, environmental law, disability rights, antitrust and business power, and the rights and responsibilities of the executive branch of government. The general viewpoint advanced can probably be deduced with the knowledge that many of the contributions previously appeared in The Nation magazine. ISBN 9780809080731.
