The subtitle made me think that I might be in for a gossipy work, suggesting that personal jealousies and conflicts shaped decisions. To the contrary, it is a serious book, whose fascination lies in its portrayal of how our fundamental law is affected by history, politics, and ideology. There are some behind-the-scenes stories, enjoyable ones; but the book's achievement is its marshaling and analysis of matters that are not secret." "A compelling look at the power and politics behind the Supreme Court." Publisher's noteDrawing on exclusive interviews with the Supreme Court justices and other insiders, a behind-the-scenes look at the powerful, often secretive world of the Supreme Court offers profiles of each justice and how their individual styles affect the way in which they wield their power and discusses how the Court operates, the recent appointments of John Roberts and Samuel Alito, and the Court's influence on American life. 150,000 first printing. AnnotationThis behind-the-scenes account of the workings of the United States Supreme Court pulls aside the curtain from the most secretive of the three branches of the U.S. government. Journalist Jeffrey Toobin tells how the court operates, as he examines the dynamics between the sitting judges, showing that they are not immune to personality clashes or partisanship. He projects ways in which the arrival of John Roberts as Chief Justice and Saul Alito as an Associate Justice may affect decisions in important cases. Selected by the New York Times as one of the 10 Best Books of 2007.
