Description

Shows that presidents and leaders of all stripes have worked to put the Court on a pedestal and have encouraged its justices to accept the role of ultimate interpreters of the Constitution. This work examines why presidents have found judicial supremacy to be in their best interest and why constitutional leadership has been passed to the courts.
