ReviewIf there is anyone in the United States who believes that the Supreme Court is not involved in the political process, let them read this book. Grier Stephenson deftly shows how the Court, consciously or not, has played a significant roll in presidential campaigns. This book is political science and history on a grand scale, and Stephenson does a superb job in telling the story. --
