The general understanding of policymaking has Congress making the laws, executive agencies implementing them, and the courts applying the laws as written—as long as those laws are constitutional. Making Policy, Making Law fundamentally challenges this conventional wisdom, arguing that no dominant ... Read more

    Beyond Alarmism and Complacency

    by Neal Devins, Mark A. Graber, Mark E. Brandon, Eric A. Posner ...
    Series series Constitutional Conflicts
    Most recent discussion of the United States Constitution and war—both the war on terrorism and the war in Iraq—has been dominated by two diametrically opposed views: the alarmism of those who see many current policies as portending gross restrictions on American civil liberties, and the complacency of those who see these same policies as entirely reasonable accommodations to the new realities of ...

Michael Kent Curtis focuses on struggles in which ordinary and extraordinary people, ... Read more

    A Constitutional and Historical Analysis

    by Michael J. Gerhardt, Neal Devins, Mark A. Graber ...
    Series series Constitutional Conflicts
    Although the federal appointment of U.S. judges and executive branch officers has consistently engendered controversy, previous studies of the process have been limited to particular dramatic conflicts and have tended to view appointments in a vacuum without regard to other incidents in the process, other legislative matters, or broader social, political, and historical developments. The Federal ... Read more

  • The Democratic Constitution

    by Neal Devins, Louis Fisher ...

  • Congress and the Constitution

    by Mark A. Graber ...
    Series series Constitutional Conflicts
    For more than a decade, the U.S. Supreme Court has turned a skeptical eye toward Congress.

This intensified judicial scrutiny highlights the need for increased attention to how Congress approaches constitutional issues. In this ... Read more

    by Mark A. Graber ...
    Series series Constitutional Conflicts
    The United States Supreme Court’s 2002–03 term confounded Court watchers. The same Rehnquist Court that many had seen as solidly conservative and unduly activist—the Court that helped decide the 2000 presidential election and struck down thirty-one federal statutes since 1995—issued a set of surprising, watershed rulings. In a term filled with important and unpredictable decisions, it upheld ... Read more
