Beyond Ideology - Politics, Principles, and Partisanship in the U. S. Senate

Zusammenfassung The congressional agenda includes many issues about which liberals and conservatives generally agree. Even over these matters, though, Democratic and Republican senators tend to fight with each other. This book argues that many partisan battles are rooted in competition for power rather than disagreement over the rightful role of government.
