The Rehnquist Court: Justices, Rulings, and Legacy

"From the landmark rulings during the 2000 presidential election to new precedents for gay rights the Rehnquist Court can be characterized as a battleground between opposing political forces. Anticipating profound change to the largely liberal rulings of the previous Courts that would radically alter the nations's cultural values, critics feared a conservative counterrevolution which never came. The Rehnquist Court: Justices, Rulings, and Legacy Provides legal, historical, and political perspectives on one of the most fascinating, contentious, and crucial periods in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court - one whose legacy informs the nation's issues now and in the future."--BOOK JACKET.
