John Roberts: Encyclopedia - Republican Party United States

The Republican Party, often called the GOP (for "Grand Old Party"), is one of the two major political parties in the United States, the other being the Democratic Party. The party was first established in 1854 by Northerners who were opposed to the spread of slavery, and held a Hamiltonian vision for modernizing the nation. In the modern political era, the GOP is usually considered the more socially conservative and economically neoliberal of the two major parties. The current President, George W. Bush, is the party lead ...

In addition, breaking with 190 years of tradition, Bloomberg implemented a "bullpen" open office plan, seating dozens of aides and managerial staff in a large chamber, reminiscent of a Wall St. trading floor - this was designe ...

John Roberts: Encyclopedia II - John Paul Stevens - Judicial philosophy

Early in his tenure Stevens took a moderate path.

His Segal-Cover score, a measure of liberalism/conservatism of Court members, is -.6, which would place him as the sixth most liberal member of the Court. A ...
