Very good stuff
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
This was a very good recent history of the Supreme Court. I really liked the info on Scalia, to me, the most interesting justice on the court. It explained the workings of the court and the opinions without complex legaleze (or however the heck you spell it). The info on Thomas and his confirmation was also very interesting. All in all, very good reading for anyone interested in the workings of the Rehnquist Court.
