The first comprehensive and systematic comparison of the two houses of the U. S. Congress, House and Senate has long been a success in both Congress and American Government courses. In the new Third Edition, Ross Baker once again uses his unique approach―interviews with senators who were formerly members of the House, as well as with journalists, lobbyists, and staff members―to paint a clear and colorful portrait of the two houses, which remain distinct, and often antagonistic, partners. House and Senate allows students to peek into the hidden corners of Capitol Hill and offers a fascinating insider’s view of the two chambers.

When Ross K. Baker's House and Senate first appeared in 1989, it became an instant favorite among students and instructors for its engaging and highly accessible description of congressional processes. Now Baker's ability to demystify the intricacies of Capitol Hill is even more readily on display in Strangers on a Hill. Succinct, forceful, and clear―and suffused with a wry sense of humor―Strangers on a Hill updates his 1989 classic with an expert discussion of the often-stormy relationship between Congress and the Supreme Court. Focusing on the hot-button issues of our day, and relying on both clearly presented scholarly interpretations and firsthand interviews with those involved in the cases, Baker makes the constitutional principles and the institutional tensions come alive. Strangers on a Hill is a lively, pithy gem and the perfect supplement to courses in political science.

Strangers on a Hill: Congress and the Court

Constitutional Law

At a time when campaign finance is already under scrutiny, the advent of these member or leadership PACs is perceived by many as cause for acute concern. There are those who suspect that trickery or misrepresentations characterizes the relationship between member PACs and those who habitually contribute to them. Others fear that member PACs siphon money from the party campaign committees, further weakening the parties and decreasing political competition by providing additional support to incumbents. Finally, some fear that these new PACs will result in excessive involvement by outsiders in the affairs of Congress. After an intensive review of these concerns and other problematic issues surrounding PACs and public perception, Ross Baker has brought together an insightful and truthful look at today's fat cats. Baker explores the dangers that are real and should concern the public with Political Action Committees and their involvement with members of Congress. Consequently, Baker also begins to dismiss some of the publics perceived thoughts surrounding the buying and selling of votes on Capital Hill, calling it the publics disillusionment with the system.
