This book attempts to fill this gap by analyzing those decisions of the Vinson, Warren and Burgers courts, as well as the first six terms of the Rehnquist Courts' span of 47 years (1946-1992), which formally altered precedent. The authors summarize previous studies of precedent and the Court, assess the conference voting of justices, and compile a list of overruling and overruled cases. Additionally, the authors draw a distinction between personal and institutional stare decisis. By using the attitudinal model of Supreme Court decision making, the authors find that it is the individual justices' ideologies which explain their voting behaviour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Saul Brenner,Brenner Saul,Spaeth Harold J.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521451884\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521451888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.31h x 6.28w x 0.65d","brand":"Saul Brenner","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47422173806847,"sku":"9780521451888","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e08b41a7-31fc-4c8a-9032-a9c7aaa7659f.jpg?v=1761527486","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stare-indecisis-saul-brenner-9780521451888","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
