Synopsis
Historian James MacGregor Burns reveals the gap between the ideal of objectivity and the reality of partisanship at the United States Supreme Court. Burns presents case studies from various periods in American history which reveal how the justices of the court have overstepped the Constitutional definitions of their role and how partisanship was often a factor in their decisions. Burns argues that this is a serious weakness, and one that threatens our liberties. He proposes changes to restore the proper balance to the three branches of government.

Industry Reviews
"[A] provocative and timely new book....Mr. Burns uses his intimate knowledge of America's past...to situate judicial rulings within a political and social context, even as he dissects the practical consequences of particular decisions."
