Summary:

" In providing us with a careful and detailed picture of the realities, Barnes has taken an important step in the " modeling dialogue" among theorists and empiricists that will hopefully push us towards a more sophisticated and nuanced understanding of congressional-judicial relations." - The Law and Politics Book Review " Barnes has significantly advanced our understanding of the separation of powers, and in doing so, has made a persuasive case that our political system may be healthier than we typically recognize." - Perspectives on Politics
