DESCRIPTION:
Sandra Day O'Connor established the court's first Jazzercise class. John Marshall Harlan organized regular screenings of X-rated films. You'll discover that: Hugo Black was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. And much, much more! With chapters on everyone from John Jay to Samuel Alito, Secret Lives of the Supreme Court tackles all the tough questions that other history books are afraid to ask: How many of these judges took bribes? How many were gay? And how could so many sink into dementia while serving on the highest court in the land? American history was never this much fun in school!. Benjamin Cardozo likely died a virgin. John Rutledge attempted suicide by jumping off a bridge. Thurgood Marshall never missed an episode of Days of Our Lives
So-so book, terrible binding quality Left in OK While I was excited to find and read another "Secret Lives" book, this one was not up to the standards of the previous ones on presidents, first ladies, and civil war personalities. Maybe the subject matter is a little less interesting, but this is a different author (and a different artist -- not nearly as good as the previous artist for Cormac O'Brien's books) and I think that has at least something to do with it.What's more, I had to return this book twice, the second time for a refund instead of a replacement -- the cover . A. D. Hale said Great read for anyone interested in law. This is an amazingly funny and interesting book about the people who wear the robes. The funny stories and trivia facts keep you coming back for more! This would make a great gift for anyone who is interested in law!. BEHIND CLOSED DOORS INTERESTING LIVES OF SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND THEIR WIDELY DIVERSE PERSONALITY! WHILE BEING HUMAN WITH A LOT OF DIFFERENT IDIOSYNCRACIES ALL OF THEM TRIED TO LEAN TOWARD JUSTICE.
