Publisher Summary 1
The title of this update of the 2003 edition derives from Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes' comment that the US Supreme Court is a "storm center" of political controversy. In a balanced treatment of the Court's power and curbs on its power, O'Brien (government and foreign affairs, U. of Virginia) expands discussion of how changes in the Court's composition, public opinion, and elections affect decision-making. The text includes photos, a list of justices since 1789, and glossary. The first edition was published in 1986. Annotation 漏2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
