The Votes That Counted: How the Court Decided the 2000 Presidential Election
Autor Howard Gillmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 iun 2003
The struggle over the outcome of the 2000 presidential election inspired countless books, most of them hasty political critiques. However, with this book, Howard Gillman had different aims from the beginning: to create a lasting, authoritative document of the 36 days between the election and its legal resolution, to offer an accessible overview of the legal strategies and debates, and to assess the influence of politics and law on the judges who shaped the outcome of this historical controversy.
