We like to think of judges and justices as making decisions based on the facts and the law. Morality Imposed. Short Title MORALITY IMPOSED. Country of Publication United States. by Stephen E. Gottlieb. The Nile on eBay   FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE   Morality Imposed by Stephen E. Gottlieb Evaluating the decision-making of Supreme Court Justices, this text blends traditional accounts of political philosophy to explain justices' voting patterns. It illustrates how courts provide a thinly veiled moral judgment and how personal conceptions of moral character prevail. FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description We like to think of judges and justices as making decisions based on the facts and the law. But to what extent do jurists decide cases in accordance with their own preexisting philosophy of law, and what specific ideological assumptions account for their decisions? Stephen E. Gottlieb adopts a unique perspective on the decision-making of Supreme Court justices, blending and re-characterizing traditional accounts of political philosophy in a way that plausibly explains many of the justices' voting patterns. A seminal study of the Rehnquist Court, Morality Imposed illustrates how, in contrast to previous courts which took their mandate to be a move toward a freer and/or happier society, the current court evidences little concern for this goal, focusing instead on thinly veiled moral judgments. Delineating a fault line between liberal and conservative justices on the Rehnquist Court, Gottlieb suggests that conservative justices have rejected the basic principles that informed post-New Deal individual rights jurisprudence and have substituted their own conceptions of moral character for these fundamental principles.Morality Imposed adds substantially to our understanding of the Supreme Court, its most recent cases, and the evolution of judicial philosophy in the U.S. Back Cover Biomedical Issuesclosely examines issues such as cyclic biology, programming, birth surgery, and cancer and provides information on national trends in health care. It presents overviews of research issues and methods, while integrating the social psychological significance of these events as experienced by individual women. The author suggests that understanding more about specific health problems of women will provide a basis for also understanding more about the general experience of female gender in society. Author Biography Stephen E. Gottlieb is the Jay and Ruth Caplan Distinguished Professor of Law at Albany Law School and author of numerous books on jurisprudence and constitutional law. Review "In this well-written and carefully documented book Professor Gottlieb contends that the conservative direction of this court is so strong that it is impossible for the poor and less fortunate to receive proper consideration and, ultimately, redress." --New York Law Journal Long Description We like to think of judges and justices as making decisions based on the facts and the law.
