Infos

While common-sense attitudes towards the United States Supreme Court have been focused on what decisions they are likely to make, this book aims to focus on the impacts of other politicized elements of the Court. Through statistical modeling and other quantitative analyses, Justin DePlato examines the ability of the presidency and the Senate to influence and shape policy through the Court's nomination process, docket selection, and judicial retirements. The Court operating as a political institution threatens to affect, where it hasn't already outright intervened, civil liberties and social issues in the modern era and represents a controversial mechanic in the workings of American statecraft.
