UR - https://www.unicat.be/uniCat?func=search&query=sysid:121293535 AB - In 'Making the Supreme Court', Charles M. Cameron and Jonathan P. Kastellec examine 90 years of American political history to show how the growth of federal judicial power from the 1930s onward inspired a multitude of groups struggling to shape judicial policy. As Cameron and Kastellec argue, the result is a new politics aimed squarely at selecting and placing judicial ideologues on the Court. They make the case that this new model gradually transformed how the Court itself operates, turning it into an ideologically driven and polarized branch. Based on rich data and qualitative evidence, this text provides a sharp lens on the social and political transformations that created a new American politics. ER -
