The Authority of the Court and the Peril of Politics

He spent months, particularly last fall on the speaking circuit around the publication of his book, The Authority of the Court and the Paral of Politics, basically insisting to the public against all mounting evidence that the court was basically apolitical

He said something about how the court's recent radical rulings weren't great for the sales of his book that insisted the court was a nonpartisan and neutral institution.

He has a new book out next week called The Authority of the Court and the Peril of Politics.

tied to a new book that Breyer has out. Odd how when people have books, they become available for interviews, but it's a good thing. And it's a book all about the perception that the court is a political body.

This is something that Breyer feels deeply about, that Justice Ginsburg... was opposed to all of these proposals for changing the court structure... Breyer's view is that we should not rush into changing the Supreme Court because at this moment we think it's doing us wrong... it's not really a political institution, as most people think of a political institution.

Your argument in your book is that people respect the court even when they disagree with it because the public at large has come to understand and respect the law...

the book have an argument... the book... it's not the sum of the argument.
