  • Counteractive Lobbying in the U.S. Supreme Court

    Open AccessLisa A Solowiej, Perry Mcd Collins et al.ARTICLEAmerican Politics Research2009Citada por: 3Referencias: 56

    Theories of counteractive lobbying assert that interest groups lobby for the purpose of neutralizing the advocacy efforts of their opponents. We examine the applicability of counteractive lobbying to explain interest group amicus curiae participation in the U.S. Supreme Court's decisions on the merits. Testing the counteractive lobbying hypotheses from 1953 to 2001, we provide strong support for the contention that interest groups engage in count…

  • Interest Group Participation, Competition, and Conflict in the U.S. Supreme Court

    Open AccessPerry Mcd Collins, Paul M Collins et al.ARTICLELaw & Social Inquiry2007

    In this article, we analyze how pluralistic, competitive, and conflictual interest group amicus curiae participation is in the U.S. Supreme Court.

The levels of minority and female support enjoyed by the …

    Open AccessLisa A Solowiej, Lisa Solowiej et al.ARTICLEPolitical Research Quarterly2003Citada por: 12Referencias: 10

    This article explores what is perhaps the single most important method of entrance into Congress for women—replacing a deceased husband. As was evident with the death of Governor Mel Carnahan (D-MO) and his wife, Jean Carnahan (D-MO), who subsequently served in the Senate, the succession of dead congressmen by their widows has been treated popularly by the news media, but has not received too much scholarly attention. In this study we examine the…
