Bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin takes you into the chambers of
the most important—and secret—legal body in our
country, the Supreme Court, and reveals the complex dynamic among
the nine people who decide the law of the land.
Just in time for the 2008 presidential election—where the future of the Court will be at stake—Toobin reveals an institution at a moment of transition, when decades of conservative disgust with the Court have finally produced a conservative majority, with major changes in store on such issues as abortion, civil rights, presidential power, and church-state relations.
