Description

Who can forget the dramatic Justice Thomas hearings and the Florida election fiasco of 2000? But the Rehnquist Court is even better known for its intense partisanship, as Presidents Reagan and Bush packed the Court with conservative justices to counter the perceived ultra-liberal decisions of the two previous courts, although President Clinton restored some balance by appointing two moderates. This volume offers: systematic analysis of major conservative changes in US constitutional law by the Court; discusses the voting record of the Court and its lasting impact; and describes events and key players of the era. The primary categories of constitutional law covered include freedom of expression, the religion clauses, the guarentees of the criminally accused, equal protection, privacy, economic rights and issues of government powers.
