Packing the Court

<b> From renowned political theorist James MacGregor Burns an incisive critique of the overreaching power of an ideological Supreme Court </b> <p/> For decades Pulitzer Prize-winner James MacGregor Burns has been one of the great masters of the study of power and leadership in America. In <i>Packing the Court</i> he turns his eye to the U.S. Supreme Court an institution that he believes has become more powerful and more partisan than the founding fathers ever intended. In a compelling and provocative narrative Burns reveals how the Supreme Court has served as a reactionary force in American politics at critical moments throughout the nation's history and concludes with a bold proposal to rein in the court's power.
