Storm Center: The Supreme Court in American Politics, Eighth Edition

The Supreme Court is a fundamentally political branch of the U.S. government that is deeply engaged in shaping American politics and policy. David O’Brien shows students how the Supreme Court is a “storm center” of political controversy where personality, politics, law, and justice converge. This thoroughly updated Eighth Edition of Storm Center continues to chart historic steps taken by the Court, and features an in-depth discussion of the Court’s continuing turn to the right and the first term of Chief Justice John Roberts.
