For more than a decade, the U.S. Supreme Court has turned a sceptical eye toward Congress. Distrustful of Congress' capacity to respect constitutional boundaries, the Court has recently overturned federal legislation at a historically unprecedented rate. This intensified judicial scrutiny highlights the need for increased attention to how Congress approaches constitutional issues. In this important collection, leading scholars in law and political science examine the role of Congress in constitutional interpretation, demonstrating how to better integrate the legislative branch into understandings of constitutional practice.Several contributors offer wide-ranging accounts of the workings of Congress. They look at lawmakers' attitudes toward Congress' role as constitutional interpreter, offices within Congress that help lawmakers learn about constitutional issues, Congress' willingness to use its confirmation power to shape constitutional decisions by both the executive and the courts, and the frequency with which congressional committees consider constitutional questions.Other contributors address congressional deliberation, paying particular attention to the quality of Congress' constitutional interpretations. Still others examine how Congress and the courts should respond to the one another's decisions: suggesting how the courts should evaluate Congress' work and considering how lawmakers respond to Court decisions striking down federal legislation. While some essayists are inclined to evaluate Congress' constitutional interpretation positively, others argue that it could be improved and suggest institutional and procedural reforms toward that end. Whatever their conclusions, all of the essays underscore the pervasive and crucial role that Congress plays in shaping the meaning of the Constitution.
