Book 73: The Nine

I got on a bit of a Supreme Court kick after reading the Sandra Day O'Connor book, and this actually fit the bill as a tell-all, insider's look.



I found myself wondering how Jeffrey Toobin knew that such-and-such justice wrote a handwritten note to a colleague, and knew its text. But wherever the information came from, it was fascinating. The book follows the decisions and composition of the court through the time that I was conscious of the SCOTUS: the nineties to 2007. I only regret that it stopped at 2007, because I would have loved to hear any insider information about Citizens United or the Affordable Care Act.
