politics with other courts. how does this court stack up against courts before it. i think if you look at the warren court in particular, they had some very controversial issues. i think what is unique with the roberts court, it has step into so many controversies in such a short period of time. this is a young court. it will only be about eight years old in september. when i started my book, it had only been five years old and already it had changed the law in terms of campaign finance, it settled the second amendment right on whether the guarantee was an individual right or tied to a militia. that s the gun case.
