Drawing on unprecedented access to the

explosive,
iiessbreaWog account
oí
one of
the most momentous political watersheds in
recent
American history
OVER THE PAST DECADE, the central front of
Americas bitter culture wars has been the titanic bat¬
tle over the composition and direction of the United
States Supreme Court. During this period, no journal¬
ist has been closer to the action on the ground
—
the
ideas, the politics, the personalities, the gamesman-
ship
—
than ABC News correspondent Jan Crawford
Greenburg.
Now, in Supreme Conflict,
Greenburg
draws on all of her formidable reportorial resources
to give a brilliant, vivid, astonishingly unvarnished
account of the struggle for the soul of the highest
court in the land.
Greenburg
picks up the plot with the Rehnquist
Court, which, despite having seven Republican nom¬
inees, proved deeply disappointing to conservatives
hoping to reverse decades of progressive rulings on
key social issues. She reveals for the first time the real
story behind a series of Republican nominations that
enraged the American conservative movement and
left it seething with frustration and resolve not to
squander future opportunities. Enter George W. Bush
and the setting of the stage for a full-blown conser¬
vative counterrevolution. Supreme Conflict contains
fresh perspectives across the entire sweep of its story,
from
tlie
conservative movement s early fumbles with
the nominations of Justices Anthony Kennedy and
David Souter to its crowning successes with the ap¬
pointments of Justices Roberts and
Alito.
The book
breaks news in its revelations about the effect of Chief
Justice Rehnquist s illness on the process; on Clarence
Thomas s real role on the Court; on the truth behind
Harriet
Miers
s
disastrous nomination and how it was
really scuttled; and on how decades of bruising battles
led to the triumph of the conservative legal agenda
with the appointment of two of its leading judicial
exponents. In the unfolding of this drama, rich in
character and conflict,
Greenburg
never loses sight of
the gargantuan stakes in this struggle, the opposing
ideological agendas at play.
The story Jan Crawford
Greenburg
tells is that
of the fulcrum event of our time, the massive coor¬
dinated campaign to move the Supreme Court in a
very different direction, to a more limited and restric¬
tive role in American government. A masterpiece of
old-fashioned gumshoe reportage, rich storytelling,
and penetrating analysis, Supreme Conflict will be the
definitive account of the most consequential shift
in the use of American judicial power in almost one
hundred years.
