About this product
Product Information
Acclaimed journalist Jeffrey Toobin takes us into the chambers of the most important--and secret--legal body in our country, the Supreme Court, revealing the complex dynamic among the nine people who decide the law of the land. An institution at a moment of transition, the Court now stands at a crucial point, with major changes in store on such issues as abortion, civil rights, and church-state relations. Based on exclusive interviews with the justices and with a keen sense of the Court's history and the trajectory of its future, Jeffrey Toobin creates in The Nine a riveting story of one of the most important forces in American life today.

The item that I was sent was in mint condition, more like new than used, was packed extremely well, arrived promptly, and the shipping was low at only $6.09. However, the seller did not send a 25 cup Tupperware #1339 servelier, as advertised, but a smaller #807-13. When I contacted her, she offered a full refund, but did not mention return shipping, so I tried to negotiate a lower price/partial refund since I didn't want to pay $20 for the smaller item, but I did not hear back from her.
