Since the mid1970s, Congress has passed hundreds of overrideslaws that explicitly seek to reverse or modify judicial interpretations of statutes. Whether frontpage news or not, overrides serve potentially vital functions in American policymaking. Federal statutesand court cases interpreting themoften require revision. Some are ambiguous, some conflict, and others are obsolete. Under these circumstances, overrides promise Congress a means to repair flawed statutes, reconcile discordant court decisions, and reverse errant judicial interpretations. Overrides also allow dissatisfied litigants to revisit issues and raise concerns in Congress that courts have overlooked.Of course, promising is one thing and delivering is quite another. Accordingly, this book asks: Do overrides, in fact, effectively clarify the law, reverse objectionable judicial statutory interpretations, and broaden deliberation on contested issues? The answers provide new insights into the complex role of overrides in U.S. policymaking and in the politics of contemporary courtCongress relations.
