The book offers a detailed analysis of William H. Rehnquist's decision-making as an Associate Justice, challenging the prevailing view that he merely imposed his political agenda. Through a thorough examination of his opinions, votes, and speeches, the author argues that Rehnquist's actions are grounded in a coherent judicial philosophy centered on legal positivism. This fresh perspective highlights the interplay between his judicial principles and personal values, providing insight into the motivations behind his decisions on the Supreme Court.
