The authority of the Court and the peril of politics / Stephen Breyer.

Summary:

"Americans increasingly believe the Supreme Court is a political body in disguise. But Justice Stephen Breyer disagrees. Arguing that judges are committed to their oath to do impartial justice, Breyer aims to restore trust in the Court. In the absence ofthat trust, he warns, the Court will lose its authority, imperiling our constitutional system"-- Provided by publisher.
