Throughout the meal, Burger argued that it was unconscionable to scoop the court, that using information from clerks, whom he assumed were the source of our story, was tantamount to wiretapping the Supreme Court. Each time he launched into a new argument, he would consult a loose-leaf binder he had brought with him. In order to hide this from his dinner partners, he would rock his chair back and put his foot on the edge of our dining room table.

But if board members could talk to one another, they might not come close to reaching a consensus. When Franklin declined last month to hear from Connerly, his decision not only enraged conservatives but also caused grumbling among otherwise sympathetic board...
