Bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin takes you into the chambers of the most important—and secret—legal body in our country, the Supreme Court, and reveals the complex dynamic among the nine people who decide the law of the land.
Just in time for the 2008 presidential election—where the future of the Court will be at stake—Toobin reveals an institution at a moment of transition, when decades of conservative disgust with the Court have finally produced a conservative majority, with major changes in store on such issues as abortion, civil rights, presidential power, and church-state relations.
Based on exclusive interviews with justices themselves, The Nine tells the story of the Court through personalities—from Anthony Kennedy's overwhelming sense of self-importance to Clarence Thomas's well-tended grievances against his critics to David Souter's odd nineteenth-century lifestyle. There is also, for the first time, the full behind-the-scenes story of Bush v. Gore —and Sandra Day O'Connor's fateful breach with George W. Bush, the president she helped place in office.
The Nine is the book bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin was born to write. A CNN senior legal analyst and New Yorker staff writer, no one is more superbly qualified to profile the nine justices.
这本书是一个很好的机会,总结一下我和gxj的日常交谈。 首先,为什么草民要关心政治(或者权力)? 在耶路撒冷犹太人屠杀纪念馆的墓碑上刻着一首诗: They first came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jew...
評分 評分九人——围观美国司法众神内斗 很遗憾,其美国司法的背景导致这本描写美国最高法院大法官故事的畅销书《九人——美国最高法院风云》(The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court)在中国活生生弄成法律专业书。译者何帆博士严谨脚注的做法也没能缓解这一误解,...

評分要是不那麼政治傾嚮一邊倒就能5星瞭…
评分書是好書,隻是看的傷心絕望
评分知曉主要情節後就覺讀不下去瞭。以後看書真得保留懸念。
评分讀起來充滿震撼,the rights of the prisoners in guantanamo bay,發覺中國比美國的文明進程落後瞭近百年
评分從1970年到2007年美國最高院的政治傾嚮變化。文中除瞭一些案例還有大篇幅關於法官性格的描述。如果基礎材料真實,好像很喜歡Souter那個怪怪的小老頭,單身漢。在重大的憲法問題前,也許確實沒有對錯,隻有立場。“政治素質”不過關,你也坐不到那個位置上。即使如此,九人仍然值得敬佩。
