The Oath: The Obama White House and the Supreme Court

Find This Book

" Having laid bare the workings of the Supreme Court in his prize-winning "The Nine", Toobin returns to assess how the Court--and, specifically, Chief Justice John Roberts--stack up against President Obama. From the moment that Roberts blew administering the Oath of Office at Obama's inauguration, he and the administration have been ideologically at odds. Toobin argues that the two men are both charismatic and ambitious, though Obama's actually the conservative one; he aims for step-by-step change, building on the past, while Roberts wants to unstitch everything accomplished by the New Deal."  (Library Journal)
