Contents:

Introduction -- Supreme policymaking -- Philadelphia and the ongoing dialogue -- Portland and unsuccessful court-elected branch interaction -- Miami and executive checkmate -- Beyond affirmative action -- Conclusion.

Summary: Merely Judgment uses affirmative action in government contracting, legislative vetoes, flag burning, hate speech, and school prayer as windows for understanding how Supreme Court decisions send signals regarding the Court's policy preferences to institutions and actors (such as lower courts, legislatures, executive branches, and interest groups), and then traces the responses of these same institutions and actors to court decisions.--[book jacket].
