"Although the Senate confirmation of Supreme Court nominees is the most public part of the nomination process, the most critical phase - the initial selection of nominees - remains largely hidden from view. In Pursuit of Justices, David Yalof takes the reader behind the scenes to show how presidents go about deciding who will sit on the highest court in the land.
As Yalof shows, competing factions within the executive branch, organized interests, and the president's close associates all vie for influence during this early phase of presidential decisionmaking."--BOOK JACKET.
