The Rehnquist Choice

The Untold Story of the Nixon Appointment That Redefined the Supreme Court

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In 1971, Richard Nixon's nominee for the Supreme Court was little-known assistant attorney general William Rehnquist. Dean packs his behind-the-scenes tale with revelations, including Nixon's outrageous plan to pack the court by forcing resignations, and provides a look at the secretive governmental process that turned the nomination into a typical Nixonian roller coaster ride.
