James E Pfander

One Supreme Court (eBook, ePUB)

Supremacy, Inferiority, and the Judicial Department of the United States

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Despite over two hundred years of experience with constitutional government, much remains unclear about the power of the political branches to curtail or re-define the judicial power of the United States. Uncertainty persists about the basis on which state courts and federal agencies may hear federal claims and the degree to which federal courts must review their decisions. Scholars approach these questions from a range of vantage points and have arrived at widely varying conclusions about the relationship between congressional and judicial power. This book argues that the Supreme Court is the head of a department of the federal government and all other courts and tribunals - whether state or federal, whether called courts or administrative agencies, whether established by Congress under Article III or constituted by Congress under Article I - must be "inferior" to the Supreme Court.
