Each year, the Supreme Court of the United States announces new rulings with deep consequences for our lives. This fifth volume in Palgraves SCOTUS series describes, explains, and contextualizes the landmark cases of the US Supreme Court in the term ending 2022. With a close look at cases involving key issues and debates in American politics and society, SCOTUS 2022 tackles the Courts rulings on abortion, guns, religion, environmental regulation, pandemic controls, immigration and more. Written by notable scholars in political science and law, the chapters in SCOTUS 2022 present the details of each ruling, its meaning for constitutional debate, and its impact on public policy or partisan politics. Finally, SCOTUS 2022 offers an analysis of the current ideological and interpretive divisions on the Court, including an analysis of the unprecedented leak of the Dobbs draft ruling.

Das Buch über den neuen Bundespräsidenten basiert auf einer Publikation, die den damaligen Kanzlerkandidaten der SPD vorgestellt hat (W. Filmer: "Johannes Rau", BA 9/86). Wie es die Art und Weise des Autorenduos ist, werden Politiker einem breiten Publikum nahegebracht. Weggefährten kommen zu Wort. Die Darstellung will vermitteln, worin die Popularität der dargestellten Person begründet ist. Im Falle des Bundespräsidenten sind es seine Fähigkeit, beim Verfolgen politischer Ziele einen langen Atem zu bewahren, seine Integrationskraft und seine vertrauenvermittelnde, mit biblischen Zitaten untermauerte Rhetorik.
