Today's Supreme Court, housed in a majestic building on Capitol Hill, bears little resemblance to the institution launched by the Framers of the Constitution and was originally seen as the weakest of the three branches of government. Over the next 200 years, the Court put the independence the Framers gave it to use and now largely defines itself, exercising so much power over how Americans live that some have begun to question whether the Court has gone too far. How do cases reach the Supreme Court? What features have other courts around the world taken from the Supreme Court, and what have they left?"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 10 $a United States. $b Supreme Court 650 0 $a Judicial process $z United States. 650 6 $a Processus judiciaire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 $z Etats-Unis. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0407727 610 17 $a United States. $b Supreme Court $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529481 650 7 $a Judicial process $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984705 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Greenhouse, Linda. $t The U.S. Supreme Court $b Third edition. $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2023] $z 9780197689486 $w (DLC) 2023013766 830 0 $a Very short introductions ; $v 306. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240217011939.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=58904FCACD6211EE9507C16149ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
