He reviews strategies the court uses to undermine a previous court’s standing without undermining its own. He analyzes overrulings across time, by type (constitutional cases versus statutory and common law cases), by the ages of the overturned precedents, with changes in the court’s membership, and through other variables.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Rountree gives engrossing accounts of pivotal overrulings in the past, such as when Lincoln’s Treasury Secretary Salmon Chase used the Legal Tender Act in 1862 to raise money for the Civil War then ruled the same law unconstitutional in 1870 when he served as chief justice. Rountree retells Thomas Edison’s attempt to monopolize the burgeoning film industry, which was stopped only when the Supreme Court overturned an earlier patent-rights case in 1917. Finally, Rountree applies his myriad insights to the politically fraught \u003ci\u003eDobbs\u003c\/i\u003e case.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOverruled \u003c\/i\u003emakes a valuable contribution to law, rhetoric, politics, and history, and readers interested in the role and function of America’s highest court will find Rountree’s account fast-paced, lively, and engaging.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgments \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Chapter 1 Judicial Rhetoric and Overruling in the US Supreme Court \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Chapter 2 Stare Decisis and Overruling in the US Supreme Court \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Chapter 3 Overruling in the Nineteenth Century: Maritime and Money \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Chapter 4 Overruling Statutory Interpretations: Jurisdiction, Patents, and Civil Rights \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Chapter 5 Justifying the \"Switch in Time That Saved Nine\": The Supreme Court's About-Face Following FDR's Court-Packing Threat \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Chapter 6 Expanding Civil Rights and Challenging States' Authority: Fourteenth Amendment Overruling Cases \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Chapter 7 Dobbs v.
