The Character of Justice: Rhetoric, Law, and Politics in the Supreme Court Confirmation Process (2006)
The Character of Justice: Rhetoric, Law, and Politics in the Supreme Court Confirmation Process (2006)Judicial philosophies, plus ideological formation for American conceptions of law, justice, and democracy are rhetorically important. Parry-Giles examines some controversial and ideologically meaningful Supreme Court nominations from 1916 through 1987: Louis D. Brandeis, Charles Evans Hughes, John J. Parker, Thurgood Marshall, Clement F. Haynsworth Jr., G. Harrold Carswell, and Robert Bork. The Character of Justice points to the centrality of the confirmation process to and the ideological constitution of the American system of democracy and law.
