I bought this Book and have been reading through it during the Holy Week. As a lawyer, my initial reaction is that the content is pretty much well known already among the legal community. However, what sets this book apart is that it contained a lot of well-researched personal anecdotes about the justices and its heretofore secret processes. Knowing the Supreme Court from the outside and from a practicioner's point of view, we now know the WHY it is so. I would also like to see the sources.
