What People are Saying About This

Randall Kennedy

The ideologically diverse commentators brought together by Bruce Ackerman to analyze Bush v. Gore offer a wealth of arresting and deeply-informed observations about an unprecedented case that will be passionately argued about for as long as the United States Supreme Court exists. In the library of commentary generated by the Supreme Court's decision, Bush v. Gore: The Question of Legitimacy is absolutely essential reading.
(— Randall Kennedy, Harvard University)
