For 30 years, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Linda Greenhouse chronicled the activities of the U.S. Supreme Court and its justices as a correspondent for the New York Times. In this Very Short Introduction, she draws on her deep knowledge of the court's history and of its written and unwritten rules to show readers how the Supreme Court really works. Greenhouse offers a fascinating institutional biography of a place and its people - men and women - who exercise great power but whose names and faces are unrecognized by many Americans and whose work often appears cloaked in mystery. How do cases get to the Supreme Court? How do the justices go about deciding them? What special role does the chief justice play? What do the law clerks do? How does the court relate to the other branches of government? Greenhouse answers these questions by depicting the justices as they confront deep constitutional issues or wrestle with the meaning of confusing federal statutes. Throughout, the author examines many individual Supreme Court cases to illustrate points under discussion, ranging from Marbury v. Madison, the seminal case which established judicial review, to the recent District of Columbia v. Heller (2008), which struck down the District of Columbia's gun-control statute and which was, surprisingly, the first time in its history that the Court issued an authoritative interpretation of the Second Amendment. To add perspective, Greenhouse also compares the Court to foreign courts, revealing interesting differences. For instance, no other country in the world has chosen to bestow life tenure on its judges. A superb overview packed with telling details, this volume offers a matchless introduction to one of the pillars of American government.

建立和巩固一个有效的公权力机构是一个漫长渐进的过程，包含了与其他公权力机构在有公共效力的某个指导思想/文本的基础上，在长期的互动中逐渐确定权责边界；也包含对权力的使用的审慎、细致，使得自身的合法性基础始终牢固。

尽量认真的看完了。考虑自己看法律英语还是不太顺。因为在看美国宪政历史所以看了这本书。

从其诞生伊始，最高法院就以法律技术问题之名行司法能动主义之实。罗伯茨再唱谦逊的高调就显得虚伪。这本书本身读起来酣畅淋漓，富于富有洞见的细节，又不失全面，是VSI系列中的上品。
