With the 2008 presidential election looming, the future of the Court hangs in the balance. Toobin unveils an institution on the brink of change, as decades of conservative discontent have led to the formation of a conservative majority.

What sets The Nine apart is Toobin's exclusive access to the justices themselves. Through candid interviews, he brings their personalities to life.

Bush, the president she played a key role in placing into office. These revelations provide a captivating narrative that brings to light the inner workings of the Court.
