The Nine

Insightful, eye-opening, revealing, fascinating. I gained newfound respect for some then-contemporary justices, in particular Sandra Day O'Connor, although at the end, the discussion of the Gore - Bush election decision was nearly shocking and very disappointing, as unworthy of an otherwise pretty laudable institution, in which most of the justices grow into something more than they started. Hopefully this will continue. I understood that the book is very much through Toobin's eyes, but he is quite even-handed and his research seemed impeccable.
