Featured Book for June:
The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court: By Jeffrey Toobin.
"The Nine? not only provides a vivid narrative history of the court?s recent history but also gives the reader an intimate look at individual justices, showing how personality, judicial philosophy and personal alliances can inform decisions that have huge consequences for the entire country. Mr. Toobin examines how a conservative rebellion against the legacy of the Warren Court gathered momentum in recent decades, nurtured by Federalist Society activists, evangelical lobbyists and most recently the Bush White House. He reviews President Bush?s selection of Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito, explicating their views on everything from the right to privacy to the role of precedent. And he shows how the thinking of individual justices has reflected ? or, in some cases, repudiated ? sentiments abroad in the nation at large.
No book club scheduled for July and August:
