About Uncertain Justice
Product Description "Irresistible...A brilliantly layered account of the Roberts Court filled with memorable stories...This book is a joy to read from start to finish."-Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals and The Bully PulpitFrom Citizens United to its momentous rulings regarding Obamacare and gay marriage, the Supreme Court under Chief Justice John Roberts has profoundly affected American life. Yet the court remains a mysterious institution, and the motivations of the nine men and women who serve for life are often obscure. Now, in Uncertain Justice, Laurence Tribe and Joshua Matz show the surprising extent to which the Roberts Court is revising the meaning of our Constitution.This essential book arrives at a make-or-break moment for the nation and the court, and the court's decisions on key topics-including free speech, privacy, voting rights, and presidential power-could be uniquely durable. Tribe, one of the country's leading constitutional lawyers, and Matz dig deeply into the court's rulings to deliver original insights and compelling human stories. In the end, Uncertain Justice illuminates the most colorful story of all-how the Supreme Court and the Constitution frame the way we live. Review “Tribe and Matz set out to portray the Roberts court in what they see as its messy complexity. It is no doubt difficult to write with clarity about uncertainty, but Tribe and Matz largely succeed. Surveying a shifting legal landscape, they offer crisp accounts of key cases.” ―The New York Times Book Review“Well-written and highly readable…. The strength of the book is its painstaking explanation of all sides of the critical cases, giving full voice and weight to conservative and liberal views alike…. The common-sense tone that prevails in most of the book is a tribute to the mastery of the Supreme Court by Tribe, a keen observer of the justices and of constitutional law for more than four decades.” ―The Washington Post“Full of bright and unconventional wisdom… Rejecting tiresome conventions of court reporting -- liberals vs. conservatives, restraint vs. activism -- the authors bring fresh insight to the court's work.” ―The Los Angeles Times“Marvelous…Tribe and Matz's insights are illuminating…. [They] offer well-crafted overviews of key cases decided by the Roberts Court … [and] chart the Supreme Court's conservative path, clarifying complex cases in accessible terms.” ―The Chicago Tribune“Tribe is a particularly effective messenger… [and] is among the nation's most celebrated legal scholars…. By giving the Justices their due, this book reminds us what it really means to respect the Constitution and its mission.” ―The Los Angeles Review of Books“A well-researched, unsettling investigation of recent trends in the nation's highest court… A near-forensic dissection of the court's work under Roberts ... Many of their conclusions will be eye-openers.” ―Kirkus Reviews“[An] insightful perspective on the Supreme Court… [and a] nuanced look at how the court under Chief Justice Roberts has arrived at momentous decisions from Citizens United to support for Obamacare.” ―Booklist“Laurence Tribe and Joshua Matz have produced a brilliantly layered account of the Roberts Court. Filled with memorable stories and striking references to literature, baseball and popular culture, this book is a joy to read from start to finish--an irresistible narrative that will delight the general public as well as journalists and scholars.” ―Doris Kearns Goodwin, author of Team of Rivals and The Bully Pulpit“Laurence Tribe, the foremost constitutional scholar and advocate of his generation, and Joshua Matz have written a brilliantly insightful and engaging account of the Roberts Court. Relentlessly fair-minded in its judgments about the justices and their work, Uncertain Justice is an indispensable guide to the Court's recent history and, more importantly, to its future.” ―Jeffrey Toobin, author of The Nine and Senior Legal Analyst, CNN“Uncertain Jus
