The Problem with the Supreme Court

The book delves into key issues such as lifetime appointments, partisan battles, and the Court’s influence on fundamental rights and democracy. Mercer examines the modern challenges facing the Court, highlighting the gaps between its perceived neutrality and its real-world political impact, ultimately calling for reforms to ensure the judiciary remains accountable to democratic principles.
