The Nine

This 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. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
