The Quick and Dirty Guide to the Supreme Court
あらすじ・解説
The Supreme Court of the United States seized and defined judicial power for itself in 1803 in its ruling in Marbury vs. Madison. It's difficult to say what the founding father's intended for the judicial branch. The Constitution is vague on the Court's workings and its responsibilities. This is ironic considering that the Court is the branch government most charged with interpreting the intent of the founders.
This book examines, in our own Quick and Dirty way, the responsibilities and history of the Court. The Court began as a body that mostly considered procedural issues and has grown into the organ of government that has expanded marriage rights to homosexuals, deliberates on the rights of citizens to own deadly weapons, and even chose the president in 2000. This text answers questions such as "Has the court always been politically motivated?" "How does it choose its cases?" and even "Which Justice has to open the chamber door when someone knocks?" Seriously, there's a rule about that.
