Abstract

As always when a new administration settles in, there is speculation in Washington over the Supreme Court-its future direction, possible vacancies, presidential appointees. The nine Justices often surprise Presidents. As the makeup and outlook of the Court change, the Justices do not always decide constitutional cases along predictable ideological lines. The Court's decisions have shaped America's history; in no other nation is the highest court so powerful. Here, political scientist Alpheus T. Mason reviews the Court's evolution from its origins through the mid-1950s. Law professor A. E. Dick Howard examines the changing Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren and under the present Chief Justice, Warren Burger.
最高法院
和以往一样,当新一届政府上任时,华盛顿就会对最高法院的未来方向、可能的空缺、总统任命等问题进行猜测。九名大法官经常让总统大吃一惊。随着最高法院的构成和前景的变化,大法官们并不总是按照可预测的意识形态路线来裁决宪法案件。最高法院的裁决塑造了美国的历史;没有哪个国家的最高法院有如此强大的权力。在这里,政治学家Alpheus T. Mason回顾了最高法院从其起源到20世纪50年代中期的演变。法学教授a·e·迪克·霍华德考察了在首席大法官厄尔·沃伦和现任首席大法官沃伦·伯格领导下不断变化的最高法院。
