Supreme Conflict

Supreme Conflict: The Inside Story of the Struggle for Control of the United States Supreme Court

Read this book.
This is a pretty good book. I was surprised that even though you could occasionally tell what the author's bias was she she was pretty evenhanded. There were some good insights even for a political junkie like me.
She does however ignore Roberts' record in concluding that he will be a solid conservative vote.
The best quote is from Rehnquist. He said, "You spend your first five years on the court wondering how you got here and the rest of you time wonder how your colleagues got here."
