...courses offered in the other two schools of FAS—the College and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS)—publicly available course videos would not be helpful, and would probably even be detrimental.

The result is a rare inside look at the strange, hermetic world of the highest court in the land. The book reveals Clarence Thomas--often seen as Antonin Scalia's understudy--to be a surprisingly forceful conservative voice on the court who sways Scalia rather than the other way around and who pushes more moderate Justices leftward in reaction. Greenburg also shows that...
