Drawing Lines in Quicksand: Courts, Legislatures, and Redistricting (Teaching Texts in Law... by Jeremy Buchman Sales Rank : 3557115

Paperback: 268 pages Publisher: Peter Lang Publishing October 2003 Language: English ISBN-10: 0820463590 ISBN-13: 978-0820463599 Product Dimensions: 8.9 x 6 x 0.6 inches Shipping Weight: 12 ounces Product Description Drawing Lines in Quicksand examines judicial performance in voting rights and redistricting through the lens of institutional policy-making capacity, and in so doing poses two inquiries. First, how institutionally well-equipped are federal courts to perform their current role in developing redistricting policy? Second, how does the contemporary voting rights enforcement regime, in which legislatures draw district lines under judicial supervision, compare to other institutional alternatives? The author demonstrates that a common perception of federal courts as severely constrained policy actors does not hold, or at least requires significant qualifications, when the particulars of voting rights and redistricting are considered.
