Book Discussion: The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court by Jeffrey Toobin

11:30am - 4:00pm Meeting Room

It’s not laws or constitutional theory that rules the High Court, argues this absorbing group profile, but quirky men and women guided by political intuition. Toobin surveys the Court from the Reagan administration onward , as the justices wrestled with abortion, affirmative action, the death penalty, gay rights and church-state separation. He gives a gossipy account of the lives and motives of individuals that often ended up with a middle-of-the-road consensus, not a conservative revolution expected from a Court dominated by Republican appointees. This is not a treatise for attorneys but an insight into the background and behind-the-scenes that often does not make its way into the news for the citizens.
