Book synopsis

In "Strangers on a Hill", Baker turns his attention to the often combustible relationship between Congress and the Supreme Court. In prose that is lucid, spry, and suffused with a wry sense of humour, Baker traces the causes of the friction between the legislative and judicial branches, while paying particularly close attention to the hot-button moral, cultural, and religious issues of our day.In eight concise chapters, each revolving around a real-life example, "Strangers on a Hill" unfolds the dynamics of the Congress-Court relationship through scholarly interpretations and first-person interviews with those deeply involved in the cases.The result is a lively, pithy book - and the perfect supplement to courses in political science.
