The main themes of this second book in The Age of Nixon Series are that President Nixon well understood the importance of the Supreme Court and that his efforts to change the Courts policy preferences were more successful than has been generally realized. More specifically, Nixon recognized the policy problem, he made a determined effort to change what he could during his presidency, and his efforts were merely the opening salvo in what has become a decades-long process to remake the Court.

This book lets the twenty-nine Justices speak for themselves, via their votes in actual cases. Those votes are the books main data-points. The cases that appear in this book are by no means all of the cases the Supreme Court has decided on the eleven topics addressed within: Federalism, Interstate Commerce, Right to Counsel, Keep and Bear Arms, Freedom of Religion, Freedom of Speech, Property Rights, Voting Rights, Education Rights, Employee Rights, and Competition Rights. Rather, the books primary focus is a comparison of the post-1968 voting patterns of the five Warren Court holdover justices and President Nixons (and later) replacement justicesas well as comparisons between and among the various replacement justices.

This books author, Professor George D. Cameron III, taught Law for forty-three years at what is now the Ross Business School at the University of Michigan. Many of the cases included in this book are old friends of his that he used in the classroom and in his three Business Law textbooks. The book is also enriched by the additional perspectives derived from the authors advanced studies in Political Science at Michigan and at Kent State University. He is thus able to assemble a sizable body of relevant data and then utilize it to provide unique insights into the remaking of the Supreme Courta process begun by President Nixon.
