内容简介
 · · · · · ·

In The Nine , acclaimed journalist Jeffrey Toobin takes us into the chambers of the most important—and secret—legal body in our country, the Supreme Court, revealing the complex dynamic among the nine people who decide the law of the land. An institution at a moment of transition, the Court now stands at a crucial point, with major changes in store on such issues as abortion, civil rights, and church-state relations. Based on exclusive interviews with the justices and with a keen sense of the Court’s history and the trajectory of its future, Jeffrey Toobin creates in The Nine a riveting story of one of the most important forces in American life today.

评论 ······

John Grisham 在《The Appeal》这本小说中,似乎是要戳穿 John Roberts “伪君子”的面目。

“let’s do this again next year” – David Souter

很有意思,Toobin是旗帜鲜明的自由派,却对Justice O’Connor青睐有加,甚至超过那几位自由派的法官。

写的很好的书。细节引人入胜。也验证了我的一个判断。最高法院对一些争议问题的裁决 基本上是反映了当时的政治生态。(美国政治的周期问题 可参考小施莱辛格的那本书) 三权分立在现实中的操作性是有限的。
