Nine Black Robes: Inside the Supreme Court's Drive to the Right and its Historic Consequences by Joan Biskupic; 2023. Hardcover.

Joan Biskupic provides an inside look at the history-making era in the Supreme Court during the Trump and post-Trump years, from its shift to the Right to its controversial decisions, including its reversal of Roe v. Wade, based on access to all the key players. Nine Black Robes displays the inner maneuverings among the Supreme Court justices that led to the seismic reversal of Roe v. Wade and a half century of women's abortion rights. Biskupic details how rights are stripped away or, alternatively as in the case of gun owners, how rights are expanded.

The Court has been headed rightward for years, but the Trump appointments hastened the modern transformation. With unparalleled access to key players, Biskupic shows the tactics of each justice and reveals switched votes and internal pacts that typically never make the light of day, yet will have repercussions for generations to come.
