Each book gives readers a clear and unbiased understanding of current high-interest issues by informing them about falsehoods, half-truths, and misconceptions - and confirming the factual validity of other assertions - that have gained traction in America's cultural and political discourse. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis volume in the series provides a deeply researched and even-handed account of the relationship between America's judicial branch - which is supposed to view law through a nonpartisan lens - and the sometimes poisonous partisanship that is such a notorious factor in the nation's other two branches of government. Is political combat over judicial nominations worse than ever before? What impact is the politicization of the courts having on public faith in the legitimacy of the courts and our wider political system? Was former Supreme Court justice Sandra Day right when she asserted that \"judicial independence is a bedrock principle of our court system, and we are losing it\"? This work will provide insights into all these questions and more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Helena Silverstein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798216461142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.48d","brand":"Helena Silverstein","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443058422015,"sku":"9798216461142","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f512b87a-90a8-4344-ae77-55e20409fd53.jpg?v=1777201568","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-control-of-americas-courts-helena-silverstein-9798216461142","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
