Instead, his Court is reshaping legal precedent through decisions unmistakably--though not always predictably--determined by politics as much as by law, on a Court almost perfectly politically divided. \u003cp\u003eHarvard Law School professor and constitutional law expert Mark Tushnet clarifies the lines of conflict and what is at stake on the Supreme Court as it hangs \"in the balance\" between its conservatives and its liberals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClear and deeply knowledgeable on both points of law and the Court's key players, Tushnet offers a nuanced and surprising examination of the initial years of the Roberts Court. Covering the legal philosophies that have informed decisions on major cases such as the Affordable Care Act, the political structures behind Court appointments, and the face-off between John Roberts and Elena Kagan for intellectual dominance of the Court, \u003cem\u003eIn the Balance\u003c\/em\u003e is a must-read for anyone looking for fresh insight into the Court's impact on the everyday lives of Americans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"W.
