This "book" is 61 small pages. Adler reports that the court's decision is inconsistent with an earlier opinion by Scalia and opines that the decision violates "separation of powers". That's about all you'll find; little about the decisions of the lower courts, the arguments, the dissents, how the court came to vote the way it did. Poor value.

I have read and own each of Ms. Adler's books. Each book - previous to this sham - provides an engaging, thoughtful experience by one of the best thinkers and writers in America.I thought I was getting a good, detailed look at the genuine issues and context of the 2000 election--the kind of work the author did on the CBS/ Westmoreland case or even what Alan Dershowitz did in his book on the case or what Richard Posner wrote in his book on the Clinton impeachment. This is an extended letter to the editor dressed up on the web to look like a book; it belongs rather in a collection of the author's freelance articles.
