Bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin takes you into the chambers of the most important—and secret—legal body in our country, the Supreme Court, and reveals the complex dynamic among the nine people who decide the law of the land.
Just in time for the 2008 presidential election—where the future of the Court will be at stake—Toobin reveals an institution at a moment of transition, when decades of conservative disgust with the Court have finally produced a conservative majority, with major changes in store on such issues as abortion, civil rights, presidential power, and church-state relations.
Based on exclusive interviews with justices themselves, The Nine tells the story of the Court through personalities—from Anthony Kennedy's overwhelming sense of self-importance to Clarence Thomas's well-tended grievances against his critics to David Souter's odd nineteenth-century lifestyle. There is also, for the first time, the full behind-the-scenes story of Bush v. Gore —and Sandra Day O'Connor's fateful breach with George W. Bush, the president she helped place in office.
The Nine is the book bestselling author Jeffrey Toobin was born to write. A CNN senior legal analyst and New Yorker staff writer, no one is more superbly qualified to profile the nine justices.

九人——围观美国司法众神内斗 很遗憾，其美国司法的背景导致这本描写美国最高法院大法官故事的畅销书《九人——美国最高法院风云》（The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court）在中国活生生弄成法律专业书。译者何帆博士严谨脚注的做法也没能缓解这一误解，...

杰弗里·图宾著作《The Nine： Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court》被译成中文，翻译者是中国最高法院的何帆先生。书翻译过来，副题目已和原文有了不小的出入，如果直译，或者本书的名字更接近于《九人：在最高法院隐秘世界深处》，但翻译者显然更擅长驾驭文字...

知晓主要情节后就觉读不下去了。以后看书真得保留悬念。

从1970年到2007年美国最高院的政治倾向变化。文中除了一些案例还有大篇幅关于法官性格的描述。如果基础材料真实，好像很喜欢Souter那个怪怪的小老头，单身汉。在重大的宪法问题前，也许确实没有对错，只有立场。“政治素质”不过关，你也坐不到那个位置上。即使如此，九人仍然值得敬佩。

要是不那么政治倾向一边倒就能5星了…

把美国最高院大法官的任命历程、重要判例以及个中意识形态和党派角力都介绍得很深入，一向对法学没啥兴趣且完全没有法学知识的我也能逐字逐句读得津津有味。本来想着中文版对很多专有名词加了脚注，可以对照着看，结果看了一章就发现翻译错误百出，怒弃。

对于神秘莫测的美国最高法院有了一个初步的了解。基本上每章会讲述至少一个影响广泛的案例，以及详细描绘一个大法官，以及他/她在这场投票中扮演的角色，所思所想。还有总统和参议院是如何推举和通过大法官人选的一个流程。

对于外国人理解最高院也太有帮助了，以后也可以在small talk的根据各个大法官的性格吹吹牛了
