An interesting look into the history of the Supreme Court and how it functions today. It always amazes me how the United States and its government was started and how close it seems to have come to failing at times. The Supreme Court is one of the institutions that could have failed and only through determination and looking ahead at the greater picture did it endure. O'Connor only provides historical stories and an overview of her time in the court. She doesn't give any opinion on what was right or wrong, or speak for/against anyone or anything. A nice read, with a copy of the United States Constitution at the end.
