"Since the mid-1970s, Congress has passed hundreds of overrides - laws that explicitly seek to reverse or modify judicial interpretations of statutes. This book asks: Do overrides, in fact, effectively clarify the law, reverse objectionable judicial statutory interpretations, and broaden deliberation on contested issues? The answers provide new insights into the complex role of overrides in U.S. policy-making and in the politics of contemporary court-Congress relations."--BOOK JACKET.
