Jeffrey Toobin
Acclaimed journalist Jeffrey Toobin takes us into the chambers of the most important—and secret—legal body in our country, the Supreme Court, revealing the complex dynamic among the nine people who decide the law of the land. An institution at a moment of transition, the Court now stands at a crucial point, with major changes in store on such issues as abortion, civil rights, and church-state relations. Based on exclusive interviews with the justices and with a keen sense of the Court’s history and the trajectory of its future, Jeffrey Toobin creates in The Nine a riveting story of one of the most important forces in American life today.

"I've had this sitting in my Kindle library for awhile, and took the plunge while away. A word of warning, I felt the first 10% felt either rushed or unedited. The writing didn't flow, conversations seemed strained and scene transitions clunky. But then something changed? Either the author got more confidence in his material, but it began to flow more. A revenge story with an intriguing world, well thought out and exploring a new culture.<br/><br/>Rarely will I want to read the sequel immediately with a large TBR title, but off I go!"
