"Nine: The Story of the United States Supreme Court" by Jeffrey Toobin Publisher: Yilin Press

Introduction · · · · · ·
Why is it said that the presidential election will determine the future of the Supreme Court? Is the U.S. Supreme Court, which is regarded as the "Temple of Justice", really isolated from politics? Why are "rivals" with different positions in court so close friends who watch opera together in private? What kind of compromises and games were behind the scenes of major judicial cases that influenced the course of American history? All the answers are in this book.

Author Toobin continues his usual rigorous writing method and the professional standards of a first-class journalist. He uses biographies of justices such as Rehnquist, O'Connor, Roberts, Kennedy, and Scalia to uncover the secrets behind many major decisions, showing the rise and fall, confrontation and checks and balances of the American judicial gods, and revealing the wins and losses, battles and games of Washington power players.
