Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings and Constitutional Change
Collins, Paul M. (University of North Texas)
This book presents a contrarian view to the idea that the confirmation of Supreme Court nominees by the Senate Judiciary Committee is merely empty ritual and political grandstanding. It uses empirical data and stories from over seventy years of transcripts to demonstrate that the hearings are a democratic forum for the discussion and ratification of constitutional change.
