Supreme Court Power Dynamics

This chapter examines the centralization of power within the federal government and its impact on states' rights, particularly through landmark Supreme Court decisions in criminal and voting rights. It analyzes the historical shifts in the Court's role, the ideological transitions from the liberal Warren Court to a more conservative bench, and the implications of judicial supremacy on democracy. The discussion raises critical questions about the legitimacy and consequences of granting significant authority to the judiciary, advocating for a restored balance of power among government branches.
