The Supreme Court is such a mystery. It is comprised of nine people who hold our lives and our government in their hands, and yet we know so little about who they are as people. This book, The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court, gave me a new appreciation for the fact that the Supreme Court justices are simply human beings, using their individual life perspectives to make the world their own version of a better place. What a difference a life perspective makes, though, as these justices bring both their intelligence and their frailties to their job.
Each President has a significant influence on the future direction of this third branch of the government whenever they choose one of the Nine. Choosing the next President, therefore, is our only way to yield any kind of control over the decisions of the Supreme Court. Please…choose well!
