Product Description
Highlights the interchange between courts and elected branches on
constitutional law not covered in casebooks or constitutional theory supplements. Consists of 33 case studies, each with a detailed introductory essay followed by edited selections of primary source materials, including legislative debates and hearings, presidential signing statements and executive orders, correspondence between justices, Supreme Court briefs, and oral arguments. Case studies average ten pages in length. Includes Federalism in the 1990s; Boerne v. Flores; impeachment; the item veto; and Romer v. Evans. Cases on abortion, affirmative action, War Powers, and independent counsels, moreover, have been significantly rewritten to take political and doctrinal developments into account. Current through August 2000.

Reader ReviewsThis was recommended by my Con Law professor to help us understand what was going on at the time when the major cases were decided by the Supreme Court. It is rotten. I read it along with my first few assignments and then gave up. It is so boring and poorly written. It makes no sense and will surely put someone to sleep within 8 seconds. Don't buy this book! If you want a Con Law supplement I would purchase something else.
