Summary:
"CNN Senior
Supreme
Court
Analyst Joan Biskupic provides an urgent and
inside
look at the history-making era in the
Supreme
Court
during the Trump and post-Trump years, from
its
seismic shift to the
Right
to
its
controversial decisions, including
its
reversal of Roe v. Wade, based on access to all the key players. Nine Black Robes displays the inner maneuverings among the
Supreme
Court
justices that led to the seismic reversal of Roe v. Wade and a half century of women’s abortion rights. Biskupic details how rights are stripped away or, alternatively as in the case of gun owners, how rights are expanded. Today’s bench -- with
its
conservative majority -- is desperately ideological. The
Court
has been headed rightward and ensnared by
its
own intrigues for years, but the Trump appointments hastened the modern transformation. With unparalleled access to key players, Biskupic shows the tactics of each justice and reveals switched votes and internal pacts that typically never make the light of day, yet will have repercussions for generations to come. Nine Black Robes is the definitive narrative of the country’s highest
court
and
its
profound impact on all Americans."--Publisher.
