And Marshall replied,"Whether it's A BLACK SNAKE or WHITE SNAKE they are still a SNAKE and any SNAKE will BITE"...This book is a must READ...Purchased from AMAZON.COM

Interest reading. Fine inside view of the personalities of the justices and the workings that are not common knowlege. Some surprises that demonstrate that the justices are human and have their own strong prejudices.
In most instances the rule based on what they truly believe is the right decisions for the couontry.

This book was a curious combination of fact and opinion. It was refreshing that there was no attempt to hide the fact that the writer has a clearly Progressive and Liberal view of what the Supreme Court should be about. When opinion and point of view is so clearly evident, you can appreciate the facts and information presented and evaluate the "right" or "wrong" of what is presented for yourself. Much of what Mr. Toobin presented could not have been known by most of us without his well researched and written book. I would recommend it to anyone interested in SCOTUS.
