Interest Groups, the Press, and the Public

Davis discusses the increasing role of interest groups, the press, and the public, whose role is not prescribed in the Constitution, in the selection and confirmation of Supreme Court justices and how it affects the process.

Historical and Analytical Examination

First he examines in detail the history and nature of the process, then he looks at the role and impact of other players.

Conclusions and Reforms

His conclusions about how non-political actors affect the outcome of Supreme Court justice selection leads him at the end of his book to suggest controversial reforms and their prospects for success.
