The Quick and Dirty Guide to the Supreme Court: The Quick and Dirty Guide to Our Messy Democracy, Book 4 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 60min
The Supreme Court of the United States seized and defined judicial power for itself in 1803 in its ruling in Marbury vs. Madison. It's difficult to say what the founding father's intended for the judicial branch. The Constitution is vague on the Court's workings and its responsibilities. This is ironic considering that the Court is the branch government most charged with interpreting the intent of the founders. This book examines, in our own Quick and Dirty way, the responsibilities and history of the Court. The Court began as a body that mostly considered procedural issues and has grown into the organ of government that has expanded marriage rights to homosexuals, deliberates on the rights of citizens to own deadly weapons, and even chose the president in 2000. This text answers questions such as "Has the court always been politically motivated?" "How does it choose its cases?" and even "Which Justice has to open the chamber door when someone knocks?" Seriously, there's a rule about that. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Daniel Hawking. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/060142/bk_acx0_060142_sample.mp3.

John Marshall and the Heroic Age of the Supreme Court , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1442min
John Marshall (1755 - 1835) was arguably the most important judicial figure in American history. As the fourth chief justice of the United States Supreme Court, serving from 1801 to 1835, he helped move the Court from the fringes of power to the epicenter of constitutional government. His great opinions in cases like Marbury v. Madison and McCulloch v. Maryland are still part of the working discourse of constitutional law in America. Drawing on a new and definitive edition of Marshall's papers, R. Kent Newmyer combines engaging narrative with new historiographical insights in a fresh interpretation of John Marshall's life in the law. More than the summation of Marshall's legal and institutional accomplishments, Newmyer's impressive study captures the nuanced texture of the justice's reasoning, the complexity of his mature jurisprudence, and the affinities and tensions between his system of law and the transformative age in which he lived. It substantiates Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.'s view of Marshall as the most representative figure in American law. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Castle Vozz.

The Great Decision: Jefferson, Adams, Marshall and the Battle for the Supreme Court , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 476min
In 1800, the United States teetered on the brink of a second revolution. The presidential election between Adams and Jefferson was a bitterly contested tie, and the government neared collapse. The Supreme Court had no clear purpose or power - no one had even thought to build it a courtroom in the new capital city. When Adams sought to prolong his policies in defiance of the electorate by packing the courts, the fine words of the new Constitution could do nothing to stop him. It would take a man to make those words good, and America found him in John Marshall.The Great Decision tells the riveting story of Marshall and of the landmark court case, Marbury v. Madison, through which he empowered the Supreme Court and transformed the idea of the separation of powers into a working blueprint for our modern state.Rich in atmospheric detail, political intrigue, and fascinating characters, The Great Decision is an illuminating tale of America's formative years and of the evolution of our democracy. ungekürzt.

Mud, Manholes, and Machetes: True Stories from the Life of a Surveyor Engineer , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 356min
This audiobook covers the often humorous adventures of Ritchey Marbury during his more than 70 years of surveying and engineering. It tells how his survey crews were motivated when he fell face-first into a muddy swamp. He also details how he peered out of a sanitary sewer manhole to see his future wife staring at him from her front porch and how he almost fainted when he saw his son lying in a hospital bed, smiling, after being cut in the head by a machete. He was put in a wheelchair and wheeled out of the room.This book also illustrates the advancement of surveying and engineering through examples of actual events. It tells some little known facts about the growth of several developments in Albany, Georgia. These include Albany State University, Albany Mall, Hidden Lakes Subdivision, Lake Park Subdivision, Lancaster Village, Albany Civic Center, and others.This is not a business book, a textbook, or a technical book. It is a humorous memoir of surveying and engineering stories. They are all true and from Ritchey's personal experiences in a profession he loves. Listeners will enjoy the unique stories while learning about the fun life of a surveyor and engineer. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kelly Klaas.

I Dissent: Great Opposing Opinions in Landmark Supreme Court Cases , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 399min
For the first time, a collection of dissents from the most famous Supreme Court cases.If American history can truly be traced through the majority decisions in landmark Supreme Court cases, then what about the dissenting opinions? In issues of race, gender, privacy, workers' rights, and more, would advances have been impeded or failures rectified if the dissenting opinions were in fact the majority opinions? In offering 13 famous dissents - from Marbury v. Madison and Brown v. Board of Education to Griswold v. Connecticut and Lawrence v. Texas, each edited with the judges' eloquence preserved - renowned Supreme Court scholar Mark Tushnet reminds us that court decisions are not pronouncements issued by the utterly objective, they are in fact political statements from highly intelligent but partisan people. Tushnet introduces listeners to the very concept of dissent in the courts and then provides useful context for each case, filling in gaps in the Court's history and providing an overview of the issues at stake. After each case, he considers the impact the dissenting opinion would have had if it had been the majority decision.Lively and accessible, I Dissent offers a radically fresh view of the judiciary in a collection that is essential listening for anyone interested in American history. ungekürzt.
