Synopsis
This timely book is a diverse collection of essays by nationally recognized scholars, politicians, and lawyers that challenges the popular myth that the U.S. Supreme Court is an apolitical institution. It analyzes the manner in which the U.S. Supreme Court superintends the electoral process through its judicial decision-making. As a provocative study of the intersection between law and politics, it considers whether the nation's highest court, as an inherently undemocratic and counter-majoritarian political institution, should enter the so-called political thicket and decide legal disputes concerning political corruption, campaign finance, political parties, patronage, and redistricting. Because there are few books on the U.S. Supreme Court and its impact on American electoral politics, Superintending Democracy is a welcome addition to social science and legal scholarship. It is a book for political scientists, legal scholars, and students who are interested in learning about American politics, constitutional law, or the political nexus between law and courts.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. The American political system is in a precarious position as the twenty-first century begins. Public confidence in government is at an all-time low and shows no immediate signs of improving. Many observers complain that the political process is unresponsive to the public interest, and all too responsive to an array of special interests. Calls for reform and renewal dominate political discourse, and yet they are regularly rebuffed in legislatures and litigation. Partly as a consequence, many citizens have become apathetic, abandoning all kinds of political participation, while others have become alienated to the point of incivility and violence. Widespread discontent grips, American democracy, even as democratic ideals triumph around the world. As the 2000 campaign for President between George W Bush and Al Gore well illustrates, the federal courts -- especially the United States Supreme Court -- are deeply enmeshed in this discontent. Lawyers and judges, along with politicians, are counted among those most responsible for the present failings of the political process.Thus, and because there is no clear separation between law and politics, the judiciary is at the centre of the debate over reforming and renewing American democratic institutions. This debate raises a critical question: what role do -- and should -- courts play in regulating the electoral process? The American political system is in a precarious position as the twenty-first century begins. Public confidence in government is at an all-time low and shows no immediate signs of improving.
