Supreme Conflict by Jan Crawford Greenburg

Supreme Conflict by Jan Crawford Greenburg

"A tour de force...A fresh and detailed account of how the court works and, relatedly, how presidents decide who gets there." -The Wall Street Journal

"A fascinating look at dynamics within the court, showing how personalities and ideology can affect alliances and debates." -The New York Times 

The New York Times bestselling account of the most consequential shift in the use of American judicial power in almost one hundred years.

Drawing on unprecedented access to the Supreme Court justices themselves and their inner circles, acclaimed ABC News legal correspondent Jan Crawford Greenburg offers an explosive newsbreaking account of one of the most momentous political watersheds in American history. From the series of Republican nominations that proved deeply frustrating to conservatives to the decades of bruising battles that led to the rise of Justices Roberts and Alito, this is the authoritative story of the conservative effort to shift the direction of the high court--a revelatory look at one of the central fronts of America's culture wars by one of the most widely respected experts on the subject.

Jan Crawford is the Chief Legal Correspondent for CBS News, and she appears frequently on CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley, CBS This Morning, and Face The Nation, as well as CBS Radio News and CBSNews.com.
