By understanding the three cases studied here to have taken place within affiliated time, by which they inhabit and exhibit specific regime constructs, the political regime and political time paradigms are affirmed. Each case demonstrates the importance of regime contestation: the normative debate between competing national governing coalitions. Congress acts as a partisan institution functioning within a political environment encompassing both fundamental "settled" values and secondary "unsettled" values. Its deliberation is symbolic and derivative in nature, acting under an umbrella of judicial supremacy and attempting to influence unsettled values, by which regime shifts are desired. These cases belie the notion of "settled" law and a "settled" regime, yet Congress plays a representational role by acting, and, further still, continues and perpetuates an ongoing dialogue with the other branches and national polity which would not take place otherwise. 410 0$aLaw and society (New York, N.Y.) 606 $aLegislative power$zUnited States 606 $aSeparation of powers$zUnited States 606 $aConstitutional law$zUnited States 615 0$aLegislative power 615 0$aSeparation of powers 615 0$aConstitutional law 676 $a342.73/042 700 $aField$b Matthew O.$f1978-$01810257 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961406903321 996 $aCongress, the constitution, and divided government$94361509 997 $aUNINA
