{"product_id":"failing-justice-craig-alan-smith-9780786421978","title":"Failing Justice: Charles Evans Whittaker on the Supreme Court","description":"\u003cp\u003e In the history of the U.S. Supreme Court, Associate Justice Charles Evans Whittaker (1957-1962) merited several distinctions. He was the only Missourian and the first native Kansan appointed to the Court. He was one of only two justices to have served at both the federal district and appeals court levels before ascending to the Supreme Court. And Court historians have routinely rated him a failure as a justice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This book is a reconsideration of Justice Whittaker, with the twin goals of giving him his due and correcting past misrepresentations of the man and his career. Based on primary sources and information from the Whittaker family, it demonstrates that Whittaker's life record is definitely not one of inadequacy or failure, but rather one of illness and difficulty overcome with great determination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Nine appendices document all aspects of Whittaker's career. Copious notes, a selected bibliography, and two indexes complete a work that challenges the historical assessment of this public servant from Missouri.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Craig Alan Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786421975\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786421978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 359\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.12w x 0.82d","brand":"Craig Alan Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059689156863,"sku":"9780786421978","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cd50e43a-7dc4-416e-ac89-ad44b6fd7ded.jpg?v=1685059744","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/failing-justice-craig-alan-smith-9780786421978","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
