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.
Based on exclusive interviews with justices themselves, The Nine tells the story of the Court through personalities—from Anthony Kennedy's overwhelming sense of self-importance to Clarence Thomas's well-tended grievances against his critics to David Souter's odd nineteenth-century lifestyle. There is also, for the first time, the full behind-the-scenes story of Bush v. Gore —and Sandra Day O'Connor's fateful breach with George W. Bush, the president she helped place in office.
The Nine is the book bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin was born to write. A CNN senior legal analyst and New Yorker staff writer, no one is more superbly qualified to profile the nine justices.

评分在苏联崩溃之后,美国已经成为这个世界上意识形态最为浓厚的国家:在缺乏人种、民族和文化共性的前提下,美利坚合众国这个“熔炉”必须依靠某种超国家的认同,那就是一整套以民主、宪政和人权为核心的价值观。这一切对美国来说实在再重要不过了:在国内,两党常常围绕着...
评分写下这几行文字的时候,我只看了这本书的前半部分,因此对于书里内容的评述在此就免了。另一方面,我也并非这一领域的专家,虽然这些年来在我眼前过过的法律书籍不下万册,但对于它们的了解多数仅存于封面或版权页。 虽然我这个半吊子法学毕业生只看了一半,但仍然会想大家推...
北外图书馆太诡异了。这本书我换回去之后就从书库里消失了……谁据为己有了,快招!
评分看了O‘Connor,越发想考LSAT了……
评分法律神马的看得头大啊
评分书是好书,只是看的伤心绝望
评分最高法院法官是美国总统最保值的政治资产。素材丰富,材料生动。自由派政治倾向明显到令人对该书客观性发生疑问的程度,减一颗星。四星推荐。
