ISBN: 0275945677 ISBN-13: 9780275945671 Publisher: Praeger OUR PRICE: $74.25 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: September 1993 Annotation: Smith introduces a new concept, "critical judicial nominations," to advance scholars' understanding of the consequences of the federal nomination process for the Supreme Court and the American political system. The study suggests that specific events related to the judicial branch, namely "critical judicial nominations," have significant unanticipated consequences for the Supreme Court's role in the political system, as well as for electoral politics. This is demonstrated in illustrative historical examples which, most importantly, include an in-depth case study of the Clarence Thomas nomination and its subsequent ramifications. |
