Kennedy","description":"\u003cp\u003eKnown as the \"swing justice,\" Justice Anthony M. Kennedy provided the key vote determining which way the Supreme Court would decide on some of the most controversial cases in US history. Though criticized for his unpredictable rulings, Kennedy also gained a reputation for his opinion writing and, more so, for his legal rhetoric.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book examines Justice Kennedy's legacy through the lenses of rhetoric, linguistics, and constitutional law. Essays analyze Kennedy's opinion writing in landmark cases such as \u003ci\u003eRomer v. Evans\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eObergefell v. Hodges\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePlanned Parenthood v. Casey\u003c\/i\u003e. Using the Justice's rhetoric as an entry point into his legal philosophy, this volume reveals Kennedy as a justice with contradictions and blind spots--especially on race, women's rights, and immigration--but also as a man of empathy deeply committed to American citizenship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA sophisticated assessment of Justice Kennedy's jurisprudence, this book provides new insight into Kennedy's legacy on the Court and into the role that rhetoric plays in judging and in communicating judgment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the editors, the contributors to this volume are Ashutosh Bhagwat, Elizabeth C.
