The oath the Obama White House and the Supreme Court
From the moment John Roberts, the Chief Justice of the United States, fumbled the oath of office at Barack Obama's inauguration, the relationship between the Court and the White House has been tense and confrontational. The president and the chief justice are both young, brilliant, charismatic, determined to change the course of the nation -- and completely at odds on almost every major constitutional issue. And now they are also linked in history because of Roberts's stunning vote to uphold Obama's health care plan. With his signature blend of insider reporting and lucid, entertaining analyses of the legal issues at stake, Jeffrey Toobin brings this relationship to urgent, vivid life.

- "From the moment John Roberts, the chief justice of the United States, blundered through the Oath of Office at Barack Obama's inauguration, the relationship between the Supreme Court and the White House has been confrontational. Both men are young, brilliant, charismatic, charming, determined to change the course of the nation-- and completely at odds on almost every major constitutional issue. One is radical; one essentially conservative. The surprise is that Obama is the conservative-- a believer in incremental change, compromise, and pragmatism over ideology. Roberts-- and his allies on the Court-- seek to overturn decades of precedent: in short, to undo the ultimate victory FDR achieved in the New Deal. This ideological war will crescendo during the 2011-2012 term, in which several landmark cases are on the Court's docket-- most crucially, a challenge to Obama's controversial health-care legislation. With four new justices joining the Court in just five years, including Obama's appointees Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, this is a dramatically-- and historically-- different Supreme Court, playing for the highest of stakes.--Publisher's web site"@en
