Can the Supreme Court be free of politics Do we want it to be Normative constitutional theory has long concerned itself with the legitimate scope and limits of judicial review. Theorists seek to resolve that issue by eliminating politics from constitutional decisionmaking. Terri Peretti argues for an openly political role for the Supreme Court.
"A lively and original work... I found the book thought provoking, and ... I recommend it highly."--Thomas M. Keck, The Law and Politics Book Review
