Joan Biskupic's "Nine Black Robes" serves as an incisive chronicle of the United States Supreme Court during a pivotal moment as the institution takes a pronounced turn to the right. The book captures the inner workings and strategic decisions of the justices, set against the backdrop of the Trump and post-Trump eras, a time marked by contentious rulings and seismic shifts in judicial philosophy. The Court's staunch conservative majority, emboldened by recent appointments, steers the nation through landmark verdicts, including the consequential reversal of Roe v. Wade. With a journalist's keen eye for detail and exclusive insight into the often concealed world of the Supreme Court, Biskupic sheds light on the justices' priorities, alliances, and the undercurrents of ideology shaping America's legal landscape. This thought-provoking narrative reveals the power and influence of the highest court and its enduring legacy on American life.
