Book Description
This work examines the pattern of Congress-U.S. Supreme Court budgetary interactions between 1789 and 1994. The manuscript contains historical budget data for the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Department of Justice and predecessor agencies, and the lower federal courts for more than two hundred years of American history. The empirical analysis of this data demonstrates the control that Congress utilizes over the Supreme Court though the political budget appropriations process.
