Nine Black Robes: Inside the Supreme Court's Drive to the Right and Its Historic Consequences by Joan Biskupic

5.0

Biskupic’s research, interviewing, and critical analysis makes this one of the most valuable and insightful reads on the modern Supreme Court available. Her careful investigation on cross examination of the ins and outs of the recent additions to the court and the shift in ideological make up are excellent. Truly, this book answers many questions about what to continue to expect from this set of nine justices led by Chief Justice John Roberts. Reading this as new rulings came out in June of 2023, it almost felt as though Biskupic’s writing was going to continue into real-time to provide background information and historical context of the current cases. My new top recommendation for all things Supreme Court.
