Savage (read 21 Feb 1993) This is a journalistic book on the Supreme Court from 1986 to 1991 by a Los Angeles Times reporter. The reporter is harder on the Supreme Court conservatives than I would be (then), but it is not too biased. The author is not a lawyer.so the book is not too insightful, but as a knowledgeable layman's review of the Court's five years it was well worth reading. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Based on the author's extensive coverage of the Supreme Court (including personal interviews), it lifts the veil of secrecy surrounding the Court by showing who the justices are and how they make their decisions. Explores the gradual shift of the Court to conservative ideology. Highlights the antagonisms between liberals and the new conservative majority showing how Scalia, Kennedy, Souter and now Thomas have fundamentally altered the Court's philosophy. Major reversals and decisions are covered ranging from abortion and civil rights to the right to die and criminal rights. The future direction of the Court is also discussed.
