Justice Kennedy's Jurisprudence
Examines the judicial philosophy of Supreme Court Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, who has been the critical swing vote on the Court for the last 20 years.
Rehnquist Justice
With seven of its justices appointed by Republican presidents, today's Supreme Court has significantly altered America's legal landscape since 1986 by tilting constitutional jurisprudence to the right. That was the goal of Presidents Reagan and Bush in filling court vacancies and has been felt in cases related to federalism, economic rights, and affirmative action. However, liberal issues such as abortion have moved only marginally to the right, while rulings by the Court on school prayer and gay rights have moved constitutional doctrine slightly to the left.

Congress and the Politics of Emerging Rights
Campbell and Stack (both in political science, Florida International U.) present seven contributions that explore the evolution of political right in American society, as played out in the legislation of Congress, the rulings of the federal judiciary, and the frequent tension between the two. Authors examine the Supreme Court's recent limiting of the power of the Commerce Clause of the Constitution for social reform, the unanticipated sexual harassment consequences of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the "judicially created" right to privacy, the ability of gay rights organizations to bargain with Congress over anti-discrimination legislation, the recent redefinition of state's rights by the Rehnquist majority of the Supreme Court, the role of lawyers in defending the interests or "rights" of Congress in the courts, and a comparative analysis of the differing perspectives of rights between the United States and the rest of the world.

Understanding Clarence Thomas
Though Clarence Thomas has been a Supreme Court Justice for nearly 25 years and has written close to five hundred opinions, legal scholars and pundits have given him short shrift, often, in fact, dismissing him as a narrow partisan, a silent presence on the bench, an enemy of his race, a tool of Antonin Scalia. And yet, as this book makes clear, few justices of the Supreme Court have developed as clear and consistent a constitutional jurisprudence as Thomas. Also little known but apparent in Ralph A. Rossum's detailed assessment of the justice's jurisprudence is how profound Thomas's impact has been in certain areas of constitutional law—not only on the bench but also even among some of hi...
