The American Supreme Court, Sixth Edition
Robert G. McCloskey and Sanford Levinson
University of Chicago Press, 2016

In this new edition, Sanford Levinson extends McCloskey’s magisterial treatment to address developments since the 2010 election, including the Supreme Court’s decisions regarding the Defense of Marriage Act, the Affordable Care Act, and gay marriage.
