Laura Kalman. The Long Reach of the Sixties: LBJ, Nixon, and the Making of the Contemporary Supreme Court
In The Long Reach of the Sixties, Laura Kalman tells her story with the enthusiasm of someone who has waited more than three decades to do so. The wait was not without value. Intervening projects provided research that enriches this one. And everything was enhanced by the serendipity of access to recordings made in the Oval Office by presidents Lyndon B. Johnson (of telephone conversations) and Richard M. Nixon (of all conversations). The recordi…
A Distinct Judicial Power: The Origins of an Independent Judiciary, 1606-1787
This is a delightful book. Scott Douglas Gerber acknowledges from the start that he has been an active participant in debates about the proper role of the federal judiciary in the American system of government. He opposes what he identifies as a heavily supported contemporary concept of “popular constitutionalism” (p. 3). Thus, he writes: “The principal aim of my book is to shed light on the federal model by exploring the experiences of the origi…

The Struggle for Judicial Independence in Antebellum North Carolina: The Story of Two Judges
The Supreme Court of North Carolina is an anomaly among state courts in the antebellum years. In a period dominated by democratic reforms of state government, the court did not merely survive unscathed it actually increased its independence. The remarkable success of this court is largely attributable to the personal reputations and political acumen of two of its judges, Thomas Ruffin and William Gaston. Without those two men it is likely that th…

Rhetorical Styles on the Fuller Court
Formalism" is the label regularly used to describe judicial opinions of the late nineteenth century. The label is descriptive when used in contradistinction to "instrumentalism." Use of the label, however, has certain drawbacks. For example, there is little objective or empirical evidence to support the application of the two antithetical terms. In addition, a single term cannot reflect whatever diversity of styles may exist among the judges of a…
