How did the US judiciary become so powerful-powerful enough that state and federal judges once vied to decide a presidential election? What does this prominence mean for the law, constitutionalism, and liberal democracy? This title deals with these questions.

Trade Review
"With The Cloaking of Power, Paul O. Carrese has established himself as a first-rate scholar working at the intersection of political philosophy and judicial politics.... This book should be of interest even to those who disagree with his prescriptions for contemporary American judicial power." (Claremont Review of Books)"
