Publisher's summary

Rot and Revival is one of the first scholarly works to comprehensively theorize and document how politics make American constitutional law and how the courts affect the path of partisan politics. Rejecting the idea that the Constitution's significance and interpretation can be divorced from contemporary political realities, Anthony Michael Kreis explains how American constitutional law reflects the ideological commitments of dominant political coalitions, the consequences of major public policy choices, and the influences of intervening social movements. Drawing on rich historical research and political science methodologies, Kreis convincingly demonstrates that the courts have never been—and cannot be—institutions lying outside the currents of national politics.

The book is published University of California Press. The audiobook is published by University Press Audiobooks.

Major Supreme Court Decisions in American History

Arranged and presented by 'eras' during which a particular Chief Justice reigned the author tells the story of the pendulum swinging back and forth between more liberal to more conservative courts. There is discussion and analysis of the abhorrent decisions - such as Dred Scott and Dobbs - and the more liberating decisions - such as Brown v Bd. of Ed. and Obergefell v. Hodges. Well written and well presented by narrator.
