Up until the final pages of the book, I thought it was worth it. In terms of sheer information, it’s relatively comprehensive, and frustrated where I was frustrated and fair where it was warranted. But in the final pages it devolves into the same bullshit both sides-ism common to SCOTUS coverage, now infamous and rightly denigrated. Just unforgivably garbage conclusions.

lennese's review against another edition
4.0
While I was super interested in the topic I definitely did not think I would enjoy this book as much as I did. I listened to it as an audiobook and the narrator did an awesome job( learning that the narrator is key especially when the book isn't written by the author!). The author gave a good overview of the history of supreme court appointments and cases in light of Kavanaugh's nomination. I hadn't realized just how much of the chaos of the moment I had blocked out until I heard many of the details. There are so many scary things about the success of this appointment ( and subsequently Amy Cohen Barrett) but perhaps the scariest ( and most ironic) for me is that Kavanaugh cannot even be trusted to be consistently ( or predictably) conservative. Well that and the fact that we now have two sexual predators who sit on the highest court in the land. Yikes!
