The Powers of the Supreme Court (Library Binding) (ISBN-13: 9781534510265)

The polarized perspectives surrounding the powers of the Supreme Court have resulted in discourse about the Court being perceived as either too weak or too formidable. Those who contend that the Court has overreached its authority, imposing strict interpretations that hinder social progress, disagree with those who argue it has become too deferential, failing to uphold the foundational values of the U.S. Constitution. Through a range of viewpoints and recent studies, this volume highlights how these conflicting opinions affect various social classes, influencing access to justice and shaping public policy. By analyzing landmark cases and current debates, this title sheds light on the evolving role of the judiciary in American society.
