German description: Die in diesem Band vereinten Berichte des Autors aus den vergangenen Jahren geben einen Uberblick daruber, was die USA in dieser Zeit rechtlich, insbesondere verfassungsrechtlich, und politisch bewegt hat. Erganzt werden die kurzen Berichte durch ausfuhrlichere Beitrage uber die problematische Rechtsprechung und Rolle des dringend reformbedurftigen Supreme Court, uber Wahlen und den Stand der Demokratie in den USA sowie die durch die zunehmende Polarisierung und nicht zuletzt durch Donald Trump bewirkten Auflosungserscheinungen von Rechtsstaat und Demokratie und die Gefahren fur den liberalen Verfassungsstaat, wobei Themen wie Impeachment und Immunitat nicht zu kurz kommen. Ein besonders im Hinblick auf die im Herbst 2024 stattfindenden Wahlen in den USA lehrreiches Buch, das nicht nur fur das Fachpublikum wertvoll ist, sondern auch der politisch interessierten Allgemeinheit viele Hintergrunde und viel Wissenswertes uber das politische und rechtliche System der heutigen USA vermittelt.
