This article is an analysis of three books that were written in the late 1980s and how the US Supreme Court was viewed by the analysts. This political opposition to the Court seems alsmost schizophrenic compared with the general public approval of the institution. Analysts worry that the Court's historic venerability will turn to vulnerability in the face of this oppostion. A major debate on the judiciary concerns limits on its power and its institutional survival in a political system in which it has become increasingly active and controversial
