Instead, the Supreme Court under Chief Justice William Rehnquist has reaffirmed most of those liberal decisions while creating its own brand of conservative judicial activism. Ranging from 1937 to the present, The Most Activist Supreme Court in History traces the legal and political forces that have shaped the modern Court. Thomas M. Keck argues that the tensions within modern conservatism have produced a court that exercises its own power quite actively, on behalf of both liberal and conservative ends. Despite the long-standing conservative commitment to restraint, the justices of the Rehnquist Court have stepped in to settle divisive political conflicts over abortion, affirmative action, gay rights, presidential elections, and much more. Keck focuses in particular on the role of Justices O'Connor and Kennedy, whose deciding votes have shaped this uncharacteristically activist Court.ConservatismUnited StatesLawPolitical aspectsactivism, courtroom, historical, contemporary, laws, legal, legality, lawyer, conservative, politics, political, federal, judiciary, 1980s, history, rights, precedents, warren, restraint, progress, liberal, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1990s, 2000s, modern, justices, o connor, kennedy, reagan, president, presidential, nixon, rehnquist.ConservatismLawPolitical aspects.347.73/26Keck Thomas Moylan1507207MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780994803321The most activist supreme court in history3737745UNINA
